run a Package from package

I have a DTS package that executes a procedure returns a global variable.

In the next ActiveX task (vb) I'd like to examine the variable and based on its value run other DTS packages but I do not know how to set up the code to run a DTS package from within an ActiveX script.

Any help appreciated .
SteveGo to Start > Run and type DTSRUNUI
Type in the SQL Server connection info at the bottom
Click the [...] button at the to choose the package name. Click [Advanced]
Click the [Generate] button
To the left of the [Generate] button, you will see the command to run the DTS from command line.
