Vb6 Missing Microsoft Dts Package Object Library



  • To execute a package from Visual Basic is a relatively simple task using the DTS object model. Before you start using the object model you must add a the appropriate reference to your project. From the Project menu select References and check the 'Microsoft DTSPackage Object Library'.
  • I create DTS Package and assign variables on it in VB6.0.I need to check if my connection to my database is successful using DTS package that I created.I.
I am developing a Visual Basic 6.0 application on a client PC running Windows 2000 SP-4. The SQL Server 2000 database resides on a server running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP-1. My VB program will not compile because there is no reference to the “Microsoft DTS Package Object Library” – I think. i.e.:
Dim objPackage As DTS.Package2
Dim objStep As DTS.Step
Dim objTask As DTS.Task
Dim objExecPkg As DTS.ExecutePackageTask
There is no: “Microsoft DTS *” in the list of ‘Available Resources’ (Tools, References). I installed Microsoft SQL Server 2000 – Client Tools on the client PC, but still no reference(s) for DTS. What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do?
Thanks

Dec 28, 2005 Since I'm using desktop engine I will also skip repository packages. For the start we will enumerate packages which are stored on (local) or (local) NetSDK server as local packages. Key for handling DTS in.NET is adding reference to 'Microsoft DTSPackage Object Library'.

First released in 1991, Microsoft Visual Basic was a programming environment where one could build an application by visually creating the user interface first, and then adding code. In contrast, even the smallest Visual Basic basic programs could take reams of program code to write in C or C++. Visual Basic was extremely popular for business application programming. The language itself was an interpreted BASIC dialect, however speed was maintained through the use of reusable compiled libraries (DLLs and VBX controls). These however, limited application development to Microsoft Windows.

Visual Basic easily interfaced with many database products (most notably Microsoft Access) and reporting tools (most notably Crystal Reports)

Visual Basic 3 was the most popular version under 16-bit Windows 3.1, while Visual Basic 6 was the most popular for 32-bit Windows 95/NT and later. After version 6, Visual Basic was replaced by 'Visual Basic.NET', a very incompatible product based around Microsoft's 'Dot Net' virtual machine runtime, essentially killing it off as a serious development product.

Release notes

Vb6 Missing Microsoft Dts Package Object Library Free

Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, now part of Visual Studio, was the last version of the true 'Visual Basic' product. It was extremely popular, and is still used in many businesses. It is the last that can create native 32-bit applications for Windows 9x and NT. The replacement product 'VB.NET' requires Dot Net, and changes the core basic language in such a way that it is difficult to port VB 6 applications.

Installation instructions
