Rea,

The following two articles are more up-to-date:

SQL Server 2005 Integration Services Backward Compatibility
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143706.aspx
(You will notice that following these directions install the SQL Server 2000
DTSRun. If it is in your execution path, the server will find it.)

Integration Services Considerations on 64-bit Computers

these articles state - (under "Support for Data Transformation Services on
64-bit Computers") - that:
"...
There is no 64-bit design-time or run-time support for Data Transformation
Services (DTS) packages that were created in earlier versions of SQL Server
...."

Rea,

That is true. But if you look at what SSIS is doing, it includes some
instructions on Selecting 32-bit or 64-bit Package Execution.

If you point to the right path for the DTSRUN executable, just as SSIS can
run in 32-bit mode, you will be able to run the 32-bit DTSRun under the
64-bit installation. Therefore DTS still runs on the 64-bit server, but in
32-bit mode.

Follow the instructions in the first post to install the support for running
DTS packages. For editing them, it is probably best to use a desktop
installation of SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager.

(And, of course, moving on to SSIS is a good idea when you have time to do
so.)
