I am creating an text file as an output from sql server. There is no data conversion process needed, just simple dump from a table to a text file. The text file looks like this for each field being mapped: _x003C_none_x003E_8_x003C_none_x003E_ any thoughts on this? It worked in our dev system but not in our stage... thx

A simple Bing or Google search on that should have turned this up - but since it didn't - here you go: SQL Server 2008 SP1 CU 6 includes small changes to .dtsx files. The short version: make sure your development machines and servers are all patched equivalently. Talk to me now on
