FIX: Error "The System Cannot Find the File Specified" When You Open a DTS Package

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

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

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.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server 7.0. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 3 for Microsoft SQL Server 7.0.
