This will allow you to add folders for the respective month, and a for each file enumerator inside the for each ADO enumerator, with a restrictive wildcard will allow you to only move those files belonging to the month you just created.Also, add some package configurations, which will allow you to port your solution to any environment.Key requirement is naturally that the SQL server agent account has write access to the folder.My 5 cents worth.~PDMon, 16 Jun 2008 23:30:22 GMTpduplessis-723389http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic517976-1306-1.aspxComments posted to this topic are about the item [B]<A HREF="/articles/SSIS/63152/">Dynamically Generate Folders for File Output using Variables in SSIS</A>[/B]Mon, 16 Jun 2008 20:18:17 GMTKenSimmons
