Have a look around here

To do it in VB

and
Using SQL Server DTS with Visual Basic: Resources and Known Issues
Most of these are getting around multi threading not available in VB

One major consideration to take into account when executing DTS from a
client machine is that, such as you would be doing when running your
application on your machine is that  where the package executes, under
the security context of the logged on user. This means any file paths
must be accessible, and any data transferred will go through your
machine. DTS is not a server side process. So check your clients will 
have access
to required dll's as well.
