Drop-down in DTS Package cut off

When working in DTS, specifically in the Transform Data Properties window,
when I click on the drop-down in the Table/View field the path will only
extend for the width of the field, even if the path name is too long to fit
in that field. As a result, I often can't see the full path displayed.

Hi,
Is it possible to place the cursor in the field and then use the 'End'
and 'Home' buttons to navigate?
James|||No, that will only scroll vertically up and down the drop-down list, but not
horizontally.

Drill through --relative path

I'm trying to use the drill-through feature to link to a report in different solution, on the same server, but in a different project. Local help files say: "The list of report names includes all reports in the current report server project. If the drillthrough report is on the report server but is not in the project, type the name of the report. The report name can contain a relative or absolute path to the report."

The report will be passing a parameter to the target report through drill-through. The target report is located on different solution and project but on a same server (report manager). Any help will be be appreciated.

Can someone give an example of a relative path? Nothing I've tried has worked, and I've posted this on sqlteam to no avail.

Thanks,

Lalon

if your base directory is "c:/SomeProgram/"

relative_path -> absolute path
"dir1/dir2" -> "c:/SomeProgram/dir1/dir2/"
"../dir3" -> "c:/dir3/"

i don't know what and how you are using the relative paths, but if you are using paths in directly in code, in some programming languages you have to double the '/' ("../dir3" -> "..//dir3")
