 Fail package on first error

I have a DTS that imports from a text file into a table. I have set the "Max error count" under Options tab in the "Transform Data Task Properties" to 3. I also checked "Fail package on first error" under Logging tab in "DTS package properties".

The question is that what happens if the 1st or 2nd or 3rd error occurs? Will the package fail? Or it won't fail until the 4th error occurs?

Thanks,

Canada DBA

you can use workflow to control when tasks will be executed

question, did you design the dts package?

you can see this at the menu bar of the dts designer,
the workflow controls will provide you sequential execution of the tasks you have in the package
