If you run packages manually and want the ability to select a file
through a GUI, this is for you. This is a simple custom task that pops
up a standard windows open file dialog box when executed. It assigns the chosen filename
to a global variable for use within the package.
| Description | Type a description for the task. This description becomes the label on the design sheet. |
| Dialog Title | Specify the text shown in the title bar of the run-time dialog. |
| Default File | Specify a default file and path that will be selected when opening the run-time dialog for the first time. Optional. |
| Filters | Add or Delete file filters from the list. The pipe character delimits between the display description and the actual filter. |
| Default Filter | Select the default file filter to be used by the run-time dialog. |
| Global Variable | Specify the global variable used to store the selected filename and path. |
The Open File Dialog Custom Task is available for download here.
