I found a few entry points in dtsui.dll which look like they may do the job. ActivateDesignerWindow, CloseDesignerWindow,
CreateDesignSurface, InvokeDesignerCommand. I have not found a COM interface for this DLL. I don't know what the call parameters
are. We are doing package management outside of Enterprise Manager, and it would be NICE to be able to pull up these packages for
editing in our tool. Does anyone know how to get a DTS Designer session opened for a package found in a structured storage file?

I do not believe this is possible, and it is certainly not documented.
You could write your own layout designer, and then just invoke task UIs
as required. Not an easy job though.

Just knowing that it can't be, or knowing it might be (with a huge amount of effort) is very helpful. I always appreciate your
taking time to share your vast DTS experience with newbies like me, as I push ahead to ask every dumb question that occurs to me!!
