Ok I'm new to SSIS so please bear with me on this.

I'm working on a package that my predecessor wrote and there is a step in it that fails if it tries to pick up a file of zero size.
So my question is:-

I want to check if the incoming file has at least one record in it before proceeding to the next step, and so I use sql something like :-
SELECT COUNT(1) FROM incomingfile WHERE newdate > '01 MAR 2010'

How would I use/control the output of this to fire up the next part of the process if the COUNT(1) produces > 0 ?

I suppose it would be some sort of 'ON SUCCESS' routine but I am new to SSIS and don't know how myself.

Thanks

Sorted now thanks, used a row count component, a variable and an expression and constraint on the flow.
