I receive this error message when I try and run my DTS
package:

"Error opening datafile: The filename, directory name, or
volume labe syntax is incorrect."

I set the file name property of the Text File (Source) to
a valid file, but when I run the package and it returns
the above error message, it sets the file name property
to <not displayable>.

Does anyone have any experience with such a problem? If
so please help!!! Thanks

How are you running the package?
Is this a remote path?

It throws the afforementioned error when I call it from
ASP or from the Enterprise Manager.

I'm executing it from asp like:
Set oPkg = Server.CreateObject("DTS.Package")
oPkg.Execute

But the fact that it throws the error from EM on the
server is most alarming. I just returned from vacation
and I have no idea what could be causing this.

The file names do exist on the local server, but when the
package is run it sets the file name property to "<not
displayable>"

I'm running the package from asp. When that didn't work, I ran it from Enterprise manager and that didn't work. I am completely baffled as to what causes this! Is it a permissions issue? I went away to vacation for a couple of days and now it no longer works. It worked magnificently before. They had some linux guys come in and work on the linux boxes, but I don't think that'll affect this... Your thoughts are very valuable. Thank you.
