  I have an ssis package that calls a the same child package several times, changing a variable set in the parent package before executing the child package each time. I'm executing the parent package in the BIDS environment, not running it as a scheduled package. The first time the child package is executed, it stops at all the breakpoints. The second time the child package is executed, all the breakpoints are ignored. I don't understand why this is happening. Can anyone explain it?

  Thanks!

  Elaine,

  Have you made any progress on this?

  I have a similar/simpler problem.

  In my case, it does not seem to stop on any breakpoint in the sub package while it stops on the parent package.

  Any idea?

  :unsure:

  Thanks

  Hi Eric -

  My post was so long ago, that I barely remember the problem. I don't recall that I ever figured out the answer to my question.

  For my purposes, I think that writing out variable values in message boxes worked - kind of like doing response.write in old asp pages years ago.

  Not sure if that matters but I assign the file name of the child package dynamically based on data retrieved in a database.

  Could that bother the debugger?

  I can still see the green/red tasks in the sub package, though...
