Do not attach files.

Very few are stupid enough to open attachments.

I have attached a sample MDB and dts file which demonstrate the problem,

It appears to only affect Access, running the code from a Word document
succeeds...

Microsoft didnt seem to interested.

I appear to have found a problem with the above critial update when
attempting to execute a dts package from Access, which exports data from
a
SQL Server DB to Excel. If this update is installed, it fails.

However, if the same code is called from a different VBA program it works
as
expected.

While I don't recommend opening attachments either, just as independent
confirmation, I've scanned these files with a virus scanner AND looked at
the Access code myself, and at least on the surface, the embedded files both
appear to be clean.

That said, I didn't look at the DTS package, except a quick visual
inspection of the file data itself, as I don't have SQL Server installed on
this machine. If you want to be REALLY paranoid, you also have no
guaranteed way of confirming that I'm not the originator under another
guise...but I'm not, honest!

So, to the extent that you can trust a newsgroup post, I can tell you that
the attached file was safe...take it or leave it.
