  • RE: Table variables not cleaning up space!!!

  • RE: Convert Function

    Firstly, why are you storing it as a number? Why not store it the correct way and format ini the end app???

  • RE: DTEXEC thorws error saying Argument "Excel" for option "connection" is not valid.

    A very common issue and a painfuly boring one. It's to do with quotes in your paramters being pasted.

  • RE: Custom data flow transformation component designer

    if you create a script task or component, you should create a custom component for reuse. Faster, better, neater, easier to deploy etc.

  • RE: Connections May Be Forcibly Closed...

  • RE: Reading backup package data

  • RE: DTS Global Variable doesn''''t change value after being mapped to an output parameter!

  • RE: Max Value in Lookup Transformation

    Then your lookup would use a query Select Max(Col1) as Col1, Col2... Group By Col2.

  • RE: Custom data flow transformation component designer

    If I understand you, you want to save a dataflow with the basics in it for reuse? No, it was requested but is not implimented. Would be a nice feature.
