comment 'skip rows' in a flat file source does not work as advertised
Not sure which you are referring to here. If I add two delimiters to the blank line, the source succeeds, meaning it is validating those rows, even if it intends to skip them.

I can't do anything in the dataflow, since the source source fails validation.

I think the meaning of that is 'don't validate at design time'. The validation still happens at execution and apparently that includes the first few rows of the data, including the ones I wanted to skip. In any event, I still have the error after trying it both ways.

comment Accessing environment variables at design time in SSDT?
I believe so. The connection manager fields have expressions that include variables. Those variables come from parameters. In the catalog, parameters can be provided from environment variables. In SSDT, they can come from configurations. I am try to learn if external data can be included in configurations and when that inclusion happens.

comment Limit connection rights on SQL Server
I'll have to install a mixed-mode instance to verify, but it doesn't appear that any additional information is available to the logon trigger. Good to know, however. I was not aware of that feature.

2012, but I have downgrade rights if necessary. This app is definitely getting it's own instance.
