I have a laptop and a desktop running the desktop version of SQL. I posted an earlier question to the forum asking how to export/import DTS packages from one server to another and had gotten two answers. One was to save the package to a text file and then import into the new server, and the other answer was to open the DTS package on the main server and do a 'save as' and change the destination server. I tried both on my desktop and they worked great.
I am now trying to do import the same DTS packages onto my laptop. It has MDAC 2.6 and SQL service pack 3. (I am running SQL 7.0)
When I try to either import the DTS packages which I have save to a text file or directly open the DTS packages from the main SQL server, I get:

Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS)
Error Description: %1 could not be found.

Any ideas anyone.

Thanks

The most important response to your last post was . . .

The trick is figuring out how to open the package on the destination machine

... as to why you can't 'SAVE AS' to myLaptop, I dunno.
