I will need to create a DTS to import an excel file. I will need 2
parameters( excel file name and an ID)
How do you create the package with these variables.

There are a few ways and you have not told us which version of SQL Server
DTS so here goes with a few ways .

2000:

Dynamic Properties Task
DTSRUN with the /A switch (assign values to Global Variables which you then
assign in the package to a property)
Object Model

7:

Datapump task
Object Model

Have a look at the site www.SQLDTS.com. Here we have examples of a lot of
things in DTS

I am using SQL 2000
I replaced the file Name with the variable.
When I ran the DTS, I got the following error:
The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object (sheet
name). Make sure the object exists and you spell its name and path

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback. According to the error message, it seems that the
file cannot be found. Please check if the file name and the path are
correct. In the meantime, please check and see if the file is existed in
the folder which you located.

Does it fix your problem? If not, I would like you to provide the detailed
information regarding the DTS package and the variable so that I can fully
understand the problem and perform further research.

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,
