I want to transfer the content of a Text file to Sql server Table throught DTS.
The Problem is , that the Source Data File location should be dynamically allocated 1000 times...
(The same file name in 1000 different folders.)
Is there any DTS task that can perform this dinamically files sepcification? if not how can it be done otherwise?

Thanks.

if i am not wrong u want to provide a dynamically path of the source file.....
if so
if u are working SQL 2000...
design a package source and target
and save u package as visual basic module
u can open module in vb and pass the path dynamically ....
hope this will help u
bye

Why do you want to use DTS?
Probably easier and safer to just code a bulk insert statement in a stored proc with the path as an input parameter.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
