Dear AJ,

Remove global variables from Child package, child will use the parent variables if you refer inside if Child which are declared in Parent and assigned values either in parent /child.

Same approach in DTS / SSIS

Parent : declare one global variable

add script task, assign some value to global variable

add execute package, call child package

Child : DON't declare any variable

Create script task, print (msgbox) parent variable

execute parent, you will see parent variable value in child.

Do not select inner/outer variables for this above example...

Regards

RB
