    LOL, SSMS! That shows how distracted I was when I posted. : -) Sorry about that.

    I'll seek permission to get it installed. This is just development assistance, right? Or are there tools in it that mean it also needs to be installed on the production server so the packages will run?

    It's pure development aid. There is no need to install anything on a server.

    Some benefits for SSIS:

    * easier deployment (right click on package/project and select deploy)

    * ability to change scope of variables

    * better expression editor for variables

    * ability to reset all GUIDS of a package

    * highlights variables and connection managers if they are configured by an expression or package configuration

    Thanks, I appreciate the information. I'll start by installing it on my local machine.

    And just when I thought we might be seeing light at the end of the tunnel, nope. Just another train heading our way.

    Hi, my name is Lynn and I must be a masochist. I can't stop feeding the troll.

    Hi, Lynn.

    Hi, Lynn.

    So, what have you been up to lately. Long time no see here on ssc.

    Maybe if we rough him up a little bit and leave him hanging on a stick, the other trolls will smell the blood and he become troll bait.

    I hope you were talking about the troll and not me, Gail.

    You'll notice I've been pretty quiet lately, even with lovely targets dancing on the end of poles at the carnival tent... and I LIKE eating trolls. This isn't worth it. Y'all are frustrated instead of enjoying the game. That's your first hint that it won't end well.

    On a side note, other than those few, we've gotten in a new pack of newbs that seem relatively refreshing. πŸ™‚
