It can be as simple as this:
loDts = newobject('dts.package')
loDts.LoadFromSqlServer( {you will need to supply param values here} )
loDts.Execute()Check out the Package object in SQL Books Online for information on the parameters that the LoadFromSqlServer() expects. Basically you need to supply the server name and login info, and the package name.
One thing to watch out for: DTS packages store versions internally, so if you have multiple versions you will need to go thru the SavedPackageInfos collection to get the one you want.
Hope this helps.
