| Hi AllI have written an exe that will generate an excel report. I want to run this exe from sql server 2000. I scheduled a job for this. In the step for type i have specified as CmdExec and in the command i gave C:\psaudit\tool.exe and process exit code as 0.When i run the job it say successful but i think its not running the exe because the excel file is not generated. But when i double click the exe the excel file is getting generated. I will be very thanksfull to you if someone could help in resolving this problem. ThanksRahul |

| the most likely reason is that the user your sql agent is running under doesn't have permissions to write in the destination folder.___________________________________________________________________________Causing trouble since 1980Blog: http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/mladenpSpeed up SSMS development: www.ssmstoolspack.com <- version 1.7 out! |

| I observed that what was mentioned by me previously was wrong. The issue lies with exe file. When i execute the exe it picks the current path from where the exe runs and creates a xls file in the same location. The above mentioned job worked when I harded the path where the xls file needs to be generated.When sql server runs the exe it runs the application from C:\WINDOWS\system32 instead of running the application from current location C:\psaudit\ and what happens in the xls is getting generated in C:\WINDOWS\system32 instead of getting generated from C:\psauditThanksRahul |
