    Create a Object variable

    Use Execute SQL Task to Copy the Output of Select <ColumnnameWhichhaspath> from <Table>

    into this Object Variable

    Use foreach ADO.net enumerator and Loop through all records in the Object Variable

    and when you are looping each time you can copy the fileLocation into variable

    use this variable as Source to a FileSystem task and as Destination is fixed,keep a constant destination

    Or, skip SSIS and use a call to RoboCopy.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.
    "Change is inevitable... change for the better is not".

    I'm attempting to do something very similar at the moment.

    My task however is slightly different...

    What i am trying to do is move files from one location to another location and rename them based on the results returned from a query.

    I'm looking at using the "File System Task" option where you can specify the source and destination folder and then use expressions for the source file location and destination file locations.

    A simple but useful write is here http://beyondrelational.com/modules/2/blogs/43/posts/10203/ssis-file-operations-copy-file-move-file-rename-file-and-delete-file.aspx

    The issue that i am having is that it's proving difficult for me to iterate through the query and rename file.

    Hence i am looking into using a "Loop for each" container...but I'm still going through the motions of getting this working.

    If i find a way through this I'll let you know, but its been a while since i last used SSIS
