Hi,

I'm not sure if it's clear now but:
Client side => if you start a DTS package via EM the
DTS runs on the client
Server side => if you SCHEDULE a DTS package then the
DTS runs on the server!

Very easy to test: try reading/exporting to/from a
file on the server. If you start the dts via EM
Execute Package it cannot find the file!
