DTS - Excel file path from a table

SQL 2000
I got a table with file names and path for the Excel files to be loaded into
a sql table.
My plan is to use DTS and global variable to assign the path and file name
and use that as the source for the data-pump.
Any thoughts or sample code to achieve this ?
Thanks In Advance
Jeff

|||The worksheets/named ranges within a workbook will be exposed to DTS as
table objects.
So this will give you the ability to change the DataSource property of the
Excel workbook and the SourceObjectName of the DataPump task.
