I'm trying import a file from HP Unix server, which I've mapped a drive to, when I import the file manually if works fine, when I run a DTS package by executing it, it works fine, but when I schedule the DTS package to run the task automatically it it imports an empty table, but when I manually run the DTS package or import manually it returns all the data about 650000 rows of data.. Any ideas?

I'm using SQL Server 2000 on a Windows 2000 OS."

When you run it, you have access to the drive letter. When it runs as a job, it's running as (probably) the Local Service account which doesn't have that drive mapped.

You should use an UNC path instead i.e. \\server\share
