Hello,

I have a strange problem:

When I run the DTS directly it works fine. But when I schedule the exceution of the DTS package as daily task it fails.

The error message gives no hints to what the problem is.

Does any of you made similar experience?

Thx!

Normally, these are permissions issues.

Does the job owner have permissions to run the DTS package?
If there are any file shares accessed, does the job owner have permissions to the share.

Many times, you have sa or the account running SQL Server run the DTS package and be the owner of the job. This would correlate to the domain user running SQL Server. That user would need access right to everything the DTS package requires.

HI you are right! but I already saw that problem, so I let the administrator make the job (i still own the Package, maybe we should chnage that too) then at least the permission problem was solved

oh man, after changing also the DTS package owner to the admin account it works.

the other thread here about this issue explained it!

the owner of the package must have access to all tables and stuffed used in the package...
