The ActiveX Script fails on the "Message" assigment:
Function Main()
Dim oPackage
Dim oCT
set oPackage = DTSGlobalVariables.Parent
set oCT = oPackage.Tasks("DTSTask_DTS.SimpleCustomTask_1").C ustomTask
oCT.Message = "Hello World"
Main = DTSTransformStat_SkipInsert
End Function
Change the "set oCT" line to "set oCT =
CreateObject("DTS.SimpleCustomTask")" and it works but of course that is
creating the object once for each record which defeats the purpose of having
the task in the first place.
Obviously I'm having a COM interoperability problem. Anyone know how to
fix?

I have a Custom DTS Task for SQL Server and I've got it working fine,
except for when I try to access its properties from an ActiveX script. I have
added a new property called Length and a method called Generate that
returns a string. Whenever I get the object in the ActiveX script, the only
properties and methods I can use are for the CustomTask interface, not the
extended properties I've added. Does anyone know why these properties
I've added are not being made available by the IDispatch?
