  Good Day please assist me in this daunting task whcih i am trying to achieve:

  I have a DTS package which is scheduled to execute through out the month, I want to stop this task from running on the 1st of every month, is there a way to edit the packge and insert a task where I can achieve this.

  This can assist my in alot of other solution, In 2005/2008 its a bit easier because you can use Sequence Container in the SSIS package what can I use in SQL 2000

  You could use an activeX script in the workflow properties of the first task in the package to check the current date and report a failure which would stop the package.

  But I would put the logic in the job that runs the package. Simply put a query in the first job step that checks the current date and skip the step that executes the package if it's the first of the month.

  I'm pretty sure I've seen other threads on SSC about conditionally running a job. You could try searching this site for them.
