  I have a DTS Package with an ActiveX Script. I want the ActiveX Script to print to the file I re-direct the package execution to. Is there an easy way to do this?

  I have tried this:

  If cmdNew.Parameters("@RUNNING") = True Then

  Print "The " & DTSGlobalVariables("gvsInterfaceName").Value & " is currently running. Failing package!"

  Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Failure

  ElseIf cmdNew.Parameters("@RUNNING") = False Then

  Print "The " & DTSGlobalVariables("gvsInterfaceName").Value & " is currently not running. Continuing package!"

  Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success

  Else

  msgbox "The interface " & DTSGlobalVariables("gvsInterfaceName").Value & " is not a valid interface!"

  Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Failure

  End If

  And the Print statements do not work.

  Thanks!

  Usually the best way to write to a file is with the file scripting object. Short sample:

  set oFSO=createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")

  Set oFile = fso.CreateTextFile("filename", False)

  oFile.WriteLine "log something here"

  Try http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/scripting for reference material.
