I got it to work for me when checking a database role of db_Owner.

It looks like it checks the current user against a Windows Domain account or checks the database...

When you say "lines" do you mean border lines?

Yeah. I know, Carl. But when I said it was easy, I meant that it's hard to make the result of a Year function unconvertible to a datetime. I knew...

The speed of SSIS is supposed to be much better in SQL 2008. Apparently MS learned from the 2005 implementation and have added some "umph" to the engine. @=)

If you're trying to avoid using the OLE DB Command in the Data Flow (which I recommend because it's RBAR), then you might try using a Derived Column transformation after...
