I am having a terrible problem with an SSIS Package. I created a connection in the Connection Manager and the option "Use a specific user name and password" is selected. I enter the ID and PW and make sure “Blank password” is not checked and “Allow saving of password” is set, but after I test the connection and it succeeds the password is no longer remembered. Has anyone had a similar problem. This is frustrating.

Packages don't save passwords by default.
Have a look at the package properties and see what it says about saving sensitive data.

I usually put he password in a config file/table

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

Afer that there should be
<ConfiguredValue></ConfiguredValue>

Type the password in there
e.g.
<ConfiguredValue>mypassword</ConfiguredValue>
