Cannot view contents of DTS package

  • I have a problem, would appreciate some advice.

    SQL 7 is on the server (let's call it Alpha).

    SQL 2K development tools were installed on top of SQL 7 (by accident).

    If I connect to Alpha with another machine through SQL 2K Enterprise manager, then I can view the DTS package contents and edit them as normal.

    However, if I try and view the contents of the DTSs on Alpha itself, then I

    cannot see anything when I attempt to view the package contents, nor can I create new DTSs.

    Anyone have any ideas what I can do to fix this?

  • Ajay,

    This sounds like a permissions issue. Make sure your login has access to the msdb (at least to the DTS portions therein).

    Good Luck,

    Darrell

  • I don't think it is, I'm fairly sure I'm logged in as the sa user (although I'm not sure how to check this when I'm using EM).

    A colleague mentioned that he encountered a similar problem some time ago and fixed the problem by replacing certain dlls with SQL Server 7.0 dlls.

    Unfortunately, he's not here any more and I don't know which dlls I'd need to make DTSs work in SQL 7, despite trawling the internet looking for them.

    Any suggestions?
