Using a Variable in SSIS - Error - "Command text was not set for the command object.".

Question

Hi All,
I am using a OLE DB Source in my dataflow component and want to select SQL Query from the master table  I have created variables v_Archivequery
String packageLevel (to store the query).
<Variable Name="V_Archivequery" DataType="String">
     SELECT a.*, b.BBxKey as Archive_BBxKey, b.RowChecksum as Archive_RowChecksum
     FROM dbo.ImportBBxFbcci a LEFT OUTER JOIN Archive.dbo.ArchiveBBxFbcci b
     ON (SUBSTRING(a.Col001,1,4) + SUBSTRING(a.Col002,1,10)) = b.BBxKey
     Where (b.LatestVersion = 1 OR b.LatestVersion IS NULL)
    </Variable>
I am assigning this query to the v_Archivequery variable, "SELECT a.*, b.BBxKey as Archive_BBxKey, b.RowChecksum as Archive_RowChecksum
FROM dbo.ImportBBxFbcci a LEFT OUTER JOIN Archive.dbo.ArchiveBBxFbcci b
 ON (SUBSTRING(a.Col001,1,4) + SUBSTRING(a.Col002,1,10)) = b.BBxKey
Where (b.LatestVersion = 1 OR b.LatestVersion IS NULL)"
Now in the OLE Db source, I have selected as Sql Command from Variable, and I am getting the variable, v_Archivequery .
But when I am generating the package and when running I am getting bewlo errror
 Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [1]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E0C.
An OLE DB record is available.  Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client"  Hresult: 0x80040E0C  Description: "Command text was not set for the command object.".
Can Someone guide me whr am going wrong?
Please let me know where am going wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Thankx & regards, Vipin jha MCP

What happens if you hit Preview button in OLE DB Source Editor? Also you can use the same query by selecting SQL Command option and test.
Could you try set the Delay Validation = True at Package and re-run ?
If set the query in variable expression (not in value), then Set Evaluate As Expression = True.
