    Hello,

    I am attempting to create an expression for a package variable in a SQL Server Integration Services project, but the elipse button in the expression property for the variable does not appear (Visual Studio 2005). I've tried two different screen resolutions,

    Why would the elipse not be there? Is there a keystroke I can use to open the exrpression builder?

    Try putting your cursor in the Expression field and pressing F4.

    Make sure EvaluateAsExpression is set to True.

    Sorry, out of ideas. Hopefully it's not a bad install.

    Could you highlight your variable and copy a picture of the variable and property box into your next post?

    That might help us visualize the issue.

    Your screen shot does not show the right hand side of the properties box ...

    EDIT- Whoops. Made the @@Version comment about the wrong post. My bad.

    I need to see a shot of the variable from the variables window AND the entire properties box when the variable has the focus, please.

    Ahha! Ye ol' Microsoft Bugginess were the problem, were it?

    That makes sense. Glad you got it fixed.
