Any suggestions on how to create an external log file (.txt) in which row counts can be inserted by the DTS?
 
eg A simple case would be the importing of data from a source table into a destination table. I want to write a log that will show how many rows have been imported.
 
Is this possible? Do I need to use some ActiveX code to do this & if so, how do I get the number of rows from the task?
 
Thx

There is nothing really built in to do that, either a custom Active X Task that has the same properties of a Transformation task but fills a table would help, or what I would try is to write an insert trigger on the table and add a counter to another table on every row inserted. Other then that you can get a log file reader and analyse your sql log file. There is possibly a way to read the transaction after successful import thus I am not quite sure how.

Thanks Michael - it would have been nice if MS had included some "friendly" logging facilities in SQL.
