I searched the DSTX file of my package and no where is the value that is coming thru for my problem variable mentioned.

Something somewhere on the server I'm running this stuff on is storing the old value.

I've logged on and off of the server several times as the agent service account which is the one running my package in the job. Each time checking the value of my problem env var via command prompt > SET command.

I have seen posts mentioning "sessions" and bouncing a service would reset a session that may be holding on to an old value, and that would make sense if it was consistent.

We'll see if the service restarts work.
