PRB: DTS Diagram Changes When DTS Package is Opened and Saved Outside the Package Designer (249901)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft SQL Server 7.0
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (all editions)

This article was previously published under Q249901

SYMPTOMS

A Data Transformation Services (DTS) package may lose its screen layout as seen in the DTS Package Designer inside SQL Enterprise Manager if:
  1. The package is opened programmatically outside the DTS Package Designer. For example, using Visual Basic or Visual C++.
  2. The package is then saved with or without any changes.
  3. The package is then reopened in the DTS Package Designer.

CAUSE

This behavior is by design.

WORKAROUND

If no changes to the DTS Package itself are intended, a copy of the package can be made and opened programmatically.
