Is there a formula to obtain the name for each week? or will someone define it manually?
If you go to the connection properties, look for Expressions and use the expression builder to create the name automatically.
I can't help you any further without additional details.

You could use an expression to calculate the file name, if the naming is consistent.
If you feel you cannot create a naming rule that would always work, you could use a Foreach loop to look for dbf files in a folder and process them. In order to make sure it doesnt process a file from a previous week, you could use a File System task to move the processed file to a completed folder.

+1 to the second para - that's what I would do.
