I need to write to variables that has a scope of the entire package.

If you include the task in a container object then the variables are within the scope of the container.

I made some progress.

The Variable that contains the path & file name did not show anything when I previewed prior to including the task in the container object.

Prior to this change the variable that contained the path & file name when I selected evaluate expression did not display anything.

Now It only shows the Path which is a hard coded variable. It does not show the file prefix, datetimestamp & file prefix, so it bombs out.

I wish that I knew how to write to a package (comporable to a DTS Global Variable).

Thank you,

Kent
