I have a BulkInsert task, I want to check for the existance of the file its inserting from, if that file isnt there I dont want to run the task....however I still want to run the stored procedure that is the task after the bulk insert.
I was trying to use the WorkFlow Properties ActiveX Script to do the check and then set the PrecedenceConstraint to Inactive if the file doesnt exist but this makes the task end up as 'not Run' and then this causes the Stored Procedure task after to not run also.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

yoc can have a activex script task which checks if file exists then it is not doing any thisng just write this

Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success

else, you can skip one task by marking the bulk insert task workflow as completed.

objPkg.Steps("DTSStep_DTSActiveScriptTask_2").ExecutionStatus = DTSStepExecStat_Completed

DTSStep_DTSActiveScriptTask_2 is PrecedenceConstraint between bulkinsert task and execute query task with precedance completion.

First setup your workflow as normal. Then for the BULK INSERT task add a workflow ActiveX Script that changes the precedence constraints appropriately.

Here's a script I use to run a task or skip it.

Function Main()

 Dim oPkg
 Dim oStep

 ' Get the FinalTask Step
 Set oStep = DTSGlobalVariables.Parent.Steps("DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_1")
 
 If CBool(DTSGlobalVariables("CON_ProcessUBS").Value) = True Then
  ' Update the following task's precedence constraint to Execution status of inactive
  oStep.PrecedenceConstraints(2).PrecedenceBasis = DTSStepPrecedenceBasis_ExecStatus
  oStep.PrecedenceConstraints(2).Value = DTSStepExecStat_Inactive
  
  Main = DTSStepScriptResult_DontExecuteTask
 Else
  ' Update the following task's precedence constraint to Execution result of success
  oStep.PrecedenceConstraints(2).PrecedenceBasis = DTSStepPrecedenceBasis_ExecResult
  oStep.PrecedenceConstraints(2).Value = DTSStepExecResult_Success

  Main = DTSStepScriptResult_ExecuteTask
 End If
 
 Set oStep = Nothing

End Function
