SSIS pack to import multiple Excel files suddenly failing

Tags: Microsoft, SQL Server, 2005
Hi,

I have a created SSIS pack that imported multiple Excel files into an SQL Server 2005 table, while I have been away someone tried to make some changes to the pack and it no longer works.  The pack uses a
ForEach Loop to create a variable and set it to the path where all my files exist, this variable is then used in the ExcelFilePath Expression for the Excel connection to locate the files, when the package is run I just get errors that dont really make a lot of sense as I have said it originally worked and I have even put it back to importing just the one file and that works fine, it just wont import multiple files, it just has issues with the Excel Connection it just seems unable to find the files even though I browsed for the path using SSIS
