global variables passing to an EXECUTE PACKAGE TASK in DTS

[ehague]

I have a parent DTS package that is executing a child dts package. I am having difficulties trying to pass a variable from the parent to the child. The child package does not seem to be accepting it. I think I am doing it wrong. I have a global variable in my parent called "PACKAGENAME". Then I chose the Global variable in my "outer package global variables" tab. Next I created a variable called "NAME" in my child package and put that into my "inner package global variables" tab. Is this right?

when you get the variable from the first part why dont you store in a temp table and use the child to pick it up.
