  Hi,

  I could not find a place MS SQL 2000 DTS folder and placed my question here.

  I am trying to use DTS to import some CSV (or Excell) file into MS SQL 2000. Building dynamic function inside an VB ActiveX Script, it should have someting like:

  "Function Main......DTSDestination(""Col1"") = DTSSource(""" & ColTitle1 & """) ....DTSDestination(""Col2"") = DTSSource(""" & ColTitle2 & """) ....End Function"

  DTSSource is a list of returned value from a stored procedure.  The returned list values should match column name from CSV file. Is there a way I could check whether DTSSource is valid or not? I tried IsEmpty(DTSSource(ColTitle1)) and few other ways; but no luck.

  Thanks.

  CHris

  Not sure how you get the values but presuming ColTitle1 contains the column name then you could do something like this

  On Error Resume Next

  DTSDestination("Col1") = DTSSource(ColTitle1)

  If Err.Number <> 0 Then

    'Error Do Something

  End if

  DTSDestination("Col2") = DTSSource(ColTitle2)

  If Err.Number <> 0 Then

    'Error Do Something

  End if

  I think Err.Number = 5 if the column is not found

  Far away is close at hand in the images of elsewhere.

  David,

  Thanks for the helping hand.

  I got ColTitle1 from a stored procedure. One of column name in CSV should match the name of ColTitle1. If anyway I could something like this:

  IF Err(DTSSource(ColTitle1)) <> 1 Then

     set pkg = DTSGlobalVariables.Parent

     set stpbegin = pkg.Steps("DTSStep_DTSActiveScriptTask_3")

  End If
