| Modify the DTS package to check if it exists or modify the job to do the check. It's probably easier to just modify the job. Before the call to dtsrun add an IF statement that checks for the table(s). Only run the package if they exist.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Database maintenance routines:http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/archive/2004/07/02/1705.aspx |

| You're going to need to write a bunch of code. I think I'd find out what tables were there via INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES and then bcp those out to files. Once the data is in the files, I'd have another process that looped through a folder and processed each found file. Perhaps you could name your files the same as the table names to make the import dynamic and easy.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Database maintenance routines:http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/archive/2004/07/02/1705.aspx |

| It's disabled by default in SQL Server 2005. Can't you just enable it?If you can't enable xp_cmdshell, then you'll need to do this from the command line through a batch file.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Database maintenance routines:http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/archive/2004/07/02/1705.aspx |
