    you need to put double backslashes in all paths I've found as ssis treats a single backslash as an escape character, you double them up to aviod this.

    Phil, I like your FOREACH suggestion, although surely this would be better for multiple files?

    We're essentially doing the same thing just different ways, the only differnce being I didnt suggest to put a file move task at the end 🙂

    It was designed for multiple files, you are correct.

    But it's an easy way of getting around the common "I want the package to complete successfully if the source file is not found" requirement, for those who are averse to writing code.

    Obviously, in this case, the properties of the container are set such that only the specific file of interest can ever be selected and no iteration is possible, should other files somehow find their way into the folder unexpectedly.

    --edit - good spot with the backslashes
