Hi everyone,
So I have to export from a SQL 2005 table to a dBaseIV table using SSIS. Easy enough, however the catch is that the tables being exported will vary. I can send variables to the the package calling the sql table name and creating the DBF file with the same columns on the fly.

The problem is mapping the columns. From what I've been reading there is no way to alter the mapping in a package at runtime. I was hoping that there would be some sort of auto mapping setting that would match on the field names but I guess not. Anybody run in to this issue and have a work around? Thanks in advance....

Scott

As you are aware its not possible look at this http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/02/28/SSIS_3A00_-Dynamic-modification-of-SSIS-packages.aspx for another possibility.
