This is a DTS connection object, not an ADO connection object.  You can definitely code this with the DTS object model.  DTS connection objects have child objects that execute SQL. ...

Try one of these flavors:

If Len(EmpID) < 1 Or IsEmpty(EmpID) Or IsNull(EmpID) Then

    MsgBox "EmpID was not found."

End If

Don't use a msgbox on the Server!  That's where it'll appear if...

This will create a reference to your connection:

 Dim oPkg

 Set oPkg = DTSGlobalvariables.parent

 Dim oConn

 Set oConn = oPkg.Connections("myConn")

However you cannot execute a sql statement against this connection.

I take it you are trying...

By the way, when using transformations - if all you are doing is copy columns, go into the transformations tab, delete all, select all, and select copy columns.  You will...

If all you want to do is run an execsql, you will only have one conn object.  You won't "connect" it to anything with a workflow.  The execsql will use...

And you can substitute fields with select statements like this.  Say when you want the next value in a series - you can use a correlated subquery:

It's called a "derived table".  Search on that term.  Select title, "using the FROM clause" in the location "Accessing and changing relational data".

The equivalent of Oracle's TRUNC is this:

select cast(convert(varchar(15), getdate(), 101) as datetime) which...

"The method that doesn't use string manipulation is slightly faster. Which of course has no importance unless the number of times the algorithm runs is ridiculously large."

Exactly - that's why...

declare @STR as varchar(10)

declare @ptr as integer

declare @ascii as varchar(1000)

set @STR = 'FOOD\r¦ BOX 2'

set @ptr = 1

while @ptr <= len(@str)

begin

print char(ascii(substring(@str,@ptr,1)))

print ascii(substring(@str,@ptr,1))

print '----'

set @ptr=@ptr+1
