    Ok quick scenario,our primary file server is changing between today (Sep 1 2015) & the next 6 months.

    On this file server we have a share where we put flat files that we process using SSIS.

    So we are going to change the packages to work with dynamic flat file destination/sources.

    We're putting the 'share' location in a SQL table called SSIS_Parameter.

    Now we have a test package,works fine,however we were wondering whether or not the dynamic destination was actually rendered @ runtime.

    We found it wasn't,since we had put the actual share name in the variable,it looked like it was changing at runtime but it wasn't.

    So changing it to an non-existing location broke the package, changing the share variable to "C:\" and the value in the table to "\\sharename\",seem to work.

    Now I don't need a solution,just a second opinion on this.

    Since you have not gone into detail about exactly how the 'dynamic destination' is being set, I cannot help with any specifics.

    But it is most certainly possible to do. All of our flat file source and destination paths are dynamically controlled from SSIS Environments using parameters. I know that you said that you did not want a solution, but if you're on SSIS 2012+, I would think very hard before ignoring SSIS environments and rolling your own solution.

    If you haven't even tried to resolve your issue, please don't expect the hard-working volunteers here to waste their time providing links to answers which you could easily have found yourself.
