SSIS with variable excel connection manager

Viewed 46263

I am trying to do automatic package execution with a WMI Event Watcher Task within SSIS. The functionality I want is automatic package execution when excel files are dropped into a certain folder. However, these excel files will be the connection managers for populating a database.

Currently SSIS will not allow me to do this because my excel connection manager does not have a path when I run the program, and only exists once the files are dropped in the folder.

Is there a way for variable excel connection managers or the value of the connection string to be a variable?

Also, how do I implement the usage of this variable in an expression?
