Changing SSIS package - new user question

I saved a simple export/import package from the import/export wizard to a .dtsx file/package. Now I want to change the package to delete/truncate all of the tables before adding data. (since this has 80 tables it would have been a pain to edit each of them individually)

How can I easily go about doing this with the SSIS package. I can't find out where this would actually be executed.

Also, how can I actually view the code behind the SSIS package.

Thanks.

Right-click on the package in BIDS-->View Code

I don't know whether its the view I'm in but I can't actually find the View Code selection when I right click on the package.

Well, why not just write 80 delete statements in a single task. It'll take a while but you'l only have to do it once!

Try clicking the "View Code" button in the solution explorer
