I have created a DTS package which imports data from an excel file into a db table. The package works just fine, but when I try to schedule this package, the job fails.
A DTS package which imports data from a text file can be scheduled without problem.
I cannot find any solution and the scheduled package does not create entries in the specified package error log file.
Have you any ideas?

Thanks

Are you definitely logging the package's execution? (package-->properties-->logging tab-->log package execution to SQL Server)

Yes definitely. When I execute the package the log file has an entry:

"The execution of the following DTS Package succeeded:
etc....."

The job always fails without any entry in the package log file

Finally I found the problem. Excel libraries need to be installed, in order to be able to schedule the Job!!!
