Dick,

Yes, I reviewed my notes and found that my response was colored by the first
post. However, with regard to your on-going problem, I have not experienced
that here.

Just reviewing my landscape I find that I am not actually trying to run the
DTS Designer on the 64-bit server's client tools, but I am running it from
32-bit desktop installations that are connecting to the 64-bit servers. My
landscape has exactly the three cases that are supposed to cause the
problem, but no problem here. (Why not? Don't know.)

As the KB mentions, reinstalling SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager also
should allow you to edit DTS packages. Have you tried resaving them from
SEM 2000 then opening them again in SSMS 2005?
