DTS Problem with Global Variables

I have a group of DTS packages that I want to use with multiple databases. My problems is when I change the database Global variables the Data Driven Queries have the following problems:
1) The bindings default to the first table in the database.
2) After I change to the correct database the parameter values in the queries appear to resequence to the order of fields in the database. I still haven’t found a way to change the database for Transform Data Tasks. They appear to stay the same. Thanks in advance for your help. John Shaening John Shaening

Here’s some sample code that works. Might not be the nicest way to do things but it does the job. Function Main() ‘ Change DataPump Destinations
‘ Easier to do this here than with Dynamic Properties
DTSGlobalVariables.Parent.Tasks.Item("NameOfDataPump").CustomTask.DestinationObjectName= "[" & DTSGlobalVariables("DestinationDBVariableName").Value & "].[dbo].[TableName]" ‘Change DataPump Source
DTSGlobalVariables.Parent.Tasks.Item("NameOfDataPump").CustomTask.SourceObjectName= "[" & DTSGlobalVariables("SourceDBVariableName").Value & "].[dbo].[TableName]" Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success End Function
