I have setup a DTS Package using ActiveX to update some information via the SQL DB.

When i execute the DTS Package manually by right clicking on it and clicking on Execute Package, it works fine everytime.

When I try to schedule the package to run twice a day automatically, when the package starts, it executes once, however the status still shows executing and the next run time is listed as unknown. It seems to hang up and never finish. I do have the Step to quit after success and it still seems not to quit.

Any suggestions. This is the first DTS package I have ever used.
Thanks for any help

What does the Package do? Understand when it's scheduled, it references drives on the server. When you run it, it references your drives

Basically I have an ASP page that needs to be ran twice a day.
Here is the DTS Package ActiveX script I am using:

Function Main()
Dim oXMLHttp
Dim sURL

timex = FormatDateTime(Now(),vbTimeDate)
on error resume next

Set oXMLHttp = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0")
sURL = "http://www.yourdomain.com/stocks/convertPending.asp?timex="&timex

oXMLHttp.open "GET", sURL, false
oXMLHttp.send()

if oXMLHttp.status = 200 Then
' Retrieve enter HTML response
MsgBox oXMLHttp.ResponseText
else
' Failed
end if

Set oXMLHttp = nothing
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End Function

Basically the convertPending.asp page is on another server. This page runs another query based on the time provided by the above script that pulls a stock quote from an stock portal.

Do i need to put this asp page on the same server the SQL is on?
I use two servers...one for websites and another server just for SQL storage for those websites.
