BUG #: 57816 (SQLBUG_70)



SYMPTOMS
When you run a Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) package or open it in the DTS Package Designer, you may receive the following error message:

Title: Package Error

Error Source : Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package

Error Description : The system cannot find the file specified.

If you use DTSRun.exe to run the DTS package, you may receive the following error message:

Error: -2147287038 (80030002); Provider Error: 0 (0)

Error string: The system cannot find the file specified.

Error source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package

Help file: sqldts.hlp

Help context: 713



CAUSE
One possible reason for this error is that you used the SQL Server 2000 Package Designer to create and save the package.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:
 * Only use the SQL Server 2000 tools to edit and run the package. Do not use the SQL Server 7.0 tools to edit or run this package.
 * Open the package with SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager, and save it again using a password for owner and user.
