  I'm trying to create a dts package that will pump data from excel file to sql server using the data transform task.  For the source file, I need to specify the path and the file name from the source connection. But this package needs to run several times a week.  

  For example:

  day 1 will pump test1.xls from C:\test1.xls

  day 2 will pump test2.xls from C:\test2.xls

  day 3 will pump test3.xls from C:\test3.xls

  I can't just change the filename in the source connection everytime in the package.  So, what can I do to get around with this.  Write activeX script? I really have no idea

  Please help. Thanks
