MaximumErrorCount Problem with Copy Database Wizard

I am getting the MaximumErrorCount error when running the Copy Database Wizard. There is an error that I recognize with a stored procedure. I am not interested necessarily in fixing the stored proc error. Rather, I want to just simply copy it "as is" (working in production by the way) and then modify it locally.

I am trying to copy a production database to a develoment environment in order to test against some data. I keep getting the following error:

"The Execution method succeeded, but the number of errors raised (1) reached the maximum allowed (1); resulting in failure. This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount."

How do I configure the MaximumErrorCount on a particular Copy Database process?

I have looked through the documentation, and have not found any place in the UI to make this change.

I am copying a SQL 2000 db to a SQL 2005 (SP1) instance running on Windows XP SP2.

It makes no sense that I cannot make a configuration as recommended by the error message.

Thanks.

I don't think the wizard UI makes this property available. However, if you save the package and open it in BIDS, you can change it there.
