I have about 20 old DTS packages I exported previously then imported into the Legacy-DTS area of my new SQL2005 64bit. I can certainly run each package with the following cmd line in a stored proc: SET @cmd = 'dtsrun /Sdonc-SQL5 /Npkg_name /E /AgvStartDate:8=' + CAST(@intStartDate AS VARCHAR(8)) exec master..xp_cmdshell @cmd If using an ODBC data source, pay attention: the DTS pkg will only see 32-bit ODBC DSN data sources. Windows will only see/create 64-bit ODBC Data Sources. You need a way to access the 32-bit ODBC administration area and create separate 32-bit ODBC data sources.
