Looking at a particular job step property, i notice that you can select a 'Package'. Upon browsing, i can see a folder called SSIS packages but i cannot find that on any of our servers anywhere. Is there a way to view these packages and edit them?

thanks!

I believe they are stored in the server. Ask the people which have deployed the packages.

That person passed away 2 weeks ago, webfred. I thought there may be some explanation somewhere about how to edit an SSIS package. I can find info on how to create one and import and export one but not how to modify one..

"How to modify a SSIS package" isn't a short story.
You have to edit it in MS Visual Studio. But for this you need it as a <packagename>.dtsx file.

Log on to the server where the packages are stored (you can see this in the job step).
But don't choose the sql engine. Choose server typ=integration services. There it is possible to export a package to the file system I think.

Yes, you have to export the package from SQL Server. The package will either be in the File System or MSDB folder. Right-click the package to export. Create a new Integration Services project in Visual Studio and then right-click on SSIS Packages. Choose Add Existing Item and browse to the exported package (<filename>.dtsx) -
