I would like to utilise DTS to perform the followings. Are they possible?

1. Export data to XML files. Perform conflict resolution against the files.

2. Send the files to external users.

3. Import the XML files to the database. Perform conflick resolution against
the database.

Export Data to XML files..possible.......
send files to external users..possible
import xml files to a database ..possible.

Wat do u mean by conflict checks...need to know whta you exactly mean
so can

This script imports an XML file into a table.

As for sending the file to an external user, if the server has SQLMail
setup, use that in the dts package. Or use an ActiveX Step with VBScript
calling CDOSYS.
