Cannot design DTS Package

  • I created a DTS package on one of our servers, now when I attempt to edit it via Enterprise Manager I get the following error:

    Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package

    Error Description: Unspecified Error

    and then the package wizard closes. Any ideas?

    We're using SQL Server Enterprise Edition

    8.00.760 (SP3)

  • Additional info. I can edit it when I run Enterprise Manager on my development machine and connect to the server, but if I remote desktop onto the server and attempt to edit it I get the error.

    The first step in the package is to run a batch file on the server which removes some old files. Then it uses the DTS FTP Task to pull down files and then imports them.

     

  • You may want to reinstall your client tools on the server. The DTS designer client may have become corrupted.

  • Our technical people who know way more about this than I do have told me not to run a DTS package on a machine being accessed by Remote Desktop.  Unlike PC Anywhere, Remote Desktop apparently continues to use a combination of your workstation settings and those of the target machine, and the DTS package is unable to resolve this combination successfully.
