I have an ActiveX step that validates a global variable, when the validation
is false, I do a

main = DTSTaskExecResult_Failure

the task exists nicely, but does not report failure so the package moves on.
How do I fail this properly so the package halts execution ?

What about setting the package level property "Fail on First Error" to true
in the package properties?
