Importing DTS From 2000 to 2005

Hi, I'm getting slightly frustrated...!

I've imported a couple of DTSs from 2k to 2005, now I know that they are stored in MSDB and I know that I need to export them to a file before I can work on them in SSIS.

The problem is:

How do I export them to a flat file? I've looked everywhere and it's driving me nuts!

Also I can't seem to find out how to delete them either?! I can see the data sotred in the dtspackages90 table but how do I edit/get rid of them.

Help!

You need to import the package into an existing SSIS project. Then, in Solution Explorer, right-click on "SSIS Packages" and select "Add Existing Package". From there you'll get a dialog box from which you can import your package.

There are two ways to manage packages: SQL Server Management Studio and Dtutil. Either of these tools can be used to delete packages stored in MSDB.
