I don't agree at all. Using a hosting provider comes with sacrifices. You can't expect to be able to do everything you like. I'm not sure this is a MS problem, but rather a choice of yours. If you have really specific needs, then it's time to organise your own servers.
Let the servers set you free.

But I am also very interested in what other information you come across as well. Andrew Scott Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.

It's further than anyone else i've asked about this has gone. Now i figure I know why no one else help me out - ... the product managers who figured out the feature set for this product forgot completely the needs of people with remote databases. There IS no feature like DTS any more. SSIS is totally broken so that means Microsoft have really dropped the ball for the million or so (just a wild guess) site owners who have databases on remote servers. Truth is, the hosting companies can't possibly give higher privileges than they do. Imagine the chaos if a hundred people had server admin rights to a server! Not to mention the security issues! Shudder!! Can you give me the name (off list if you like) and email address of someone in Mcrosoft whose job it would be to s how me (and by implication all the others on this list and elsewhere who have shared hosting) how to do this (if such a capability exists)? Once i know how to do it I'd be more than happy to put a full step-by-step on my company's site for all to see.
