• 1) Add a For Loop container and in the eval expression and 1==1 (so always returns true and will continuously loop).

    2) Inside the container add a script task to check if the file exists. The below code will check if the file exists. If it does it will move onto the next step. If not it will pause for 1 minute and check again. Change "System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(numberofmiliseconds)" property to adjust the interval.

    Imports System

    Imports System.Data

    Imports System.Math

    Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime

    <System.AddIn.AddIn("ScriptMain", Version:="1.0", Publisher:="", Description:="")> _

    <System.CLSCompliantAttribute(False)> _

    Partial Public Class ScriptMain

    Inherits Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.ScriptTask.VSTARTScriptObjectModelBase

    Enum ScriptResults

    Success = Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DTSExecResult.Success

    Failure = Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DTSExecResult.Failure

    End Enum

    Public Sub Main()

    Dim Answer As String

    Answer = False

    While Answer = False

    If System.IO.File.Exists("yourfilelocation\yourfilename.xls") Then

    Answer = True

    Exit While

    Else

    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(60000)

    End If

    End While

    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(60000)

    Dts.TaskResult = ScriptResults.Success

    End Sub

    End Class

    3) Add the rest of the SSIS package transformations inside the container

    4) Create an excel file with an auto_open macro in it along the lines of

    Sub Auto_Open()

    Application.DisplayAlerts = False

    ChDir "YourFileLocation\"

    Workbooks.Open Filename:="yourfilelocation\yourfilename.xls"

    'Enter your macro data here to change the tab name and any other updates to the file

    'Saves the file to the import location specified in the script task

    ChDir "C:\_data\ToImport"

    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="yourfilelocation\ToImport\yourfilename.xls", _

    FileFormat:=xlExcel8, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _

    ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False

    'Closes the file and quits excel

    ActiveWorkbook.Close

    Application.Quit

    Application.DisplayAlerts = True

    End Sub

    5) Open Task Scheduler on a machine that has office installed and schedule a new task to run. Under actions choose "Start a program" and add the location and name of the excel file just created in excel with the auto_open macro in it.

    6) Start you SSIS package and it will continue to run until manually stopped. If a file is found in the ToImport folder the SSIS package will run through to the end and then loop back to the start again, otherwise it will keep repeating the script task until a file it found

    Hope that helps.
