    Contact MS about it. That's all I can suggest on it that makes any sense to me.

    Happy Monday, folks!

    Just coming up for air after a couple of weeks of crazy. Figured I'd catch up on The Thread and say "Hi".

  • RE: Data Extract

    IsNumeric won't necessarily do the job.

    Try this to see why:

  • RE: Query uses function to check DateTime masks, looking for alternatives/suggestions

    Definitely an interesting function, by I have to ask why you'd use that instead of a Calendar table.

  • RE: What is the correct path to store an SSIS Package?

    I generally store them under the root path. Just "\" and the package name. But I'm lazy that way.
