Executing packages in a specific sequence

I am facing some issues while working on SSIS in VS2005,

The Scenario is we have 35 excel files from which we have to import data

to Sql 2005.

We have to execute these packages in a specific sequence so we are not

using For Each Loop Control.

Now the Problem is this that we have 35 executables as an output that is

corresponding to each package, and from each executable we can Change

excel path and Sql Connection String.

The problem is that one has to open each executable to set the path; we

wanted to keep them Configurable like , as if we can have any variable

define in the packages for path, and in the packages we use that variable

and append the XLS file name to it like ..

@.PathVariable+ test.xls

And from the Configuration file at run time we can set the path to this

variable like

@.Path Variable="C: /Windows/ Test Folder/"

And then executable picks the path from there.

Is there any possibility to implement any thing similar, we have tried but

its not working, any help in this regard will be really appreciating.

Its really urgent, I will wait for feedback on this.

Yeah you can do that. just use an expression on the ConnectionStrig property of the connection managers. This should give you some clues:
