Hi,

I have a Job which has a CmdExec Step which calls a VB.exe file. The file is executed fine but the Job shows Status: Failed

Any clue?

I'm working on SQL Server 2000 SP4

Thanks

Guessing, but: is the VB app returning something which is causing ERRORELVEL to be set to something other than zero?

Maybe the VB app is not explicitly setting a return value, and the "random" return value is causing it?

Kristen,

The VB App is been executed by a main() module. It makes a few files operations and then ends.

It does not return any explicit number.

How can I return a value in VB6 when App ends?

Thank you

I don't know much about VB, but probable by having RETURN 0 as the last statement in main()
