How reliable is DTS? I use the DTS utility at work a great deal and often
either save the package to SQLServer or complile the package as a VB
executable. I have often found the packages will not run properly, but will
run smoothly after a reboot. Has anyone else experienced this behavior?

Got to say I find DTS to be very reliable.

I guess some things will depend on what you are doing in packages, calling
out to external executables or going across the LAN are some obvious
problems. I use SQL Server Agent to schedule the package runs and have as
yet had no real issues other than those mentioned.
