changeing the table name while using transfer sql server object

Hi,
I am wondering using transfer sql server objects task in a sub-package and feeding tableslist property from the parent package. which works fine.
problem :

I want to be able to change the name in the fly so if I have
TableA I want to copy it for the destination as TableB
is there any work arround this just using transfer sql server objects task.
Thanks

A link to a similar thread of yours on this topic: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1094010&SiteID=1|||Thanks Phil for checking.
Although it is similar question but it is pointing to a different functionality of Transfer sql server object task.
I want to be able to copy a table between servers the tricky part is that I don not have the table in the destination and task creates the table in the target server.

so it captures a snapshot of the schema of the source table and applies it to the remote server and the then standard data copy between to tables.

problem: I want to be able to have a different table name for the target database. so I am wondering if it is possible with scripting to do so ( that is fi the task it self has got such a property ) or the task only will create the table with the same name (as the source).

Thanks
|||Just asking and am not trying to take away from your issue, but aren't there better tools for performing schema management rather than using SSIS? I'm not a DBA, so I don't really know the answer to that question, but it seems here that you're stretching the limits of what SSIS was designed to do (even if it *can* do it).

Are you going to run this one time, or many times?|||many times and con-currently
|||Not supported in the Transfer Objects task. However, you could use an Execute SQL after the table is copied to call sp_rename.|||yes, that's how I've done it , but I was wondering if there was a a nyway to stretch the Transfer sql server object task capability.
