Trying to run the looping script by Allan Mitchell (http://www.sqldts.com/default.aspx?246

Keeps telling me that I've got a bad directory

Two questions, Not being familiar with DTS, why does it keep changing the file that I give it in the global variables from a *.txt file back to a Desktop.ini file? Damn thing acts demonic

Anyone else have this bad directory error message when trying to run this package? Solve it?

Have you terminated the directory with a \ ?

I presume the directory does exist.

The file shouldn't be changed at all. It should be the file you pass in. I
am not sure where you get this though. Is it in the loop and it picks up
the .INI file?

For the gv_FileFullName

and this is what the gv_FileFullName looks like in the Properties tab
D:\My Investment Databases\Stock_Quotes\Quote_Data\Process\Desktop. in
