If the mods are simple (verifying a numeric value or a particular format -
or a date), then use the DTS transformation services and vb to massage the
data during the import.  The way I do it is to create the package and save
it, then go to design view.  The "transformation" connections all say "copy"
at this point.  Delete the connections that you want to fiddle with, the
select "new active X transformation".  The interface makes it pretty easy -
with common functions listed to the left of the scripting window.

Subject: OT Modifying Source File in DTS package


I have a DTS package which I use to import IIS log files into SQL Server
2000.
How can I change the source file programaticallly and then run
the package. I really am a newbie at DTS but I guess you can tell that.

I know that I could always do the import with cf but it seems kind of silly
to involve cf for a purely  database function.

TIA

Don
