Changing Data Source in Visual Studio Package

  • Hi,

    I have a Visual Studio package that pulls data from an Access table and imports it into my SQL server. The database that the Access table resides in has changed locations. How do I point the source query to this new location in Visual Studio? Thanks

  • Hmm,

    Hopefully you have an App.Config file in your project and inside there you should see (in the XML) :

    <configuration>

    ...

    <connectionStrings>

    <add name="SomeDB" ...>

    </connectionStrings>

    ...

    </configuration>

    There should be a path in there.

    This question should probably be moved over to one of the programming forums though...

    Are you using SSIS, or some other tool? If SSIS, you need to change the connection manager (usually located at the bottom).

    Need an answer? No, you need a question
