Hi everyone...I am new to both SQL Server AND VB.net...
Here's my problem.
I created a DTS package basically to just import a CSV file into a table in my database. I want to be able to run this package from my VB.net front end on a client machine. I used some of the sample code that comes with SQL Server and I kept getting errors saying the different DTS Types that I was trying to Declare were not defined.
For Example

Public goPackageOld As New DTS.Package
Public goPackage As DTS.Package2

Would give me "Type DTS.Package is not defined"
and "Type DTS.Package2 is not defined"

Well, like I said, I am new at this..I have experience with VBA and VB6, but I am a bit lost here. Are there references I need to load or some include statements missing?

Any help on this problem would be appreciated...
Also, Does anyone know of a good resource for information? I mean, besides these forums.
THANKS!!!
Greg

Add reference Microsoft DTSPackage Object Library under the COM tab.

This can also be done in VB6

This will get you started:
Dim opkg As DTS.PackageClass
opkg = New DTS.PackageClass()
'This call will load the dts package from the sql server
opkg.LoadFromSQLServer(Add paramter variables as needed)
