Saving DTS Task Closes Enterprise Manager

  • We just upgraded to SP4.

    When I opened a DTS Transformation Task and pressed OK to save, it closed the entire Enterprise Manger window without saving the task changes.

    Any hints?

  • Did you upgrade the SQL client tools on the client side as well? They all have to be upgraded together.

  • Yes, I was working right on the server, and according to the readme, the tools are upgraded along with the database components. 

    It's something to do with the local parser.  I deleted the query, put "Select 1" in as the query, saved it, then put a modified version of the query back and it worked.

    However, if I put the line it didn't like back in Enterprise Manager on the server, it kills.  On a client machine it debugs to

    Unhandled exception at 0x7c910f29 in mmc.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00640041.

    7C910F29  mov         ecx,dword ptr [ecx]

    Someone on another board said he was able to solve it by editing from a client machine instead of on the server, but it didn't work for me.  I just had to futz with the query till it got past the local parser  (I just put "And 1=1" after the part it didn't like, and it was happy!).
