I am running Win 2003 R2 x64 and SQL 2005 x64. One of our applications has a "DTS" like exe that copies data from one database to another. If I open task manager and run the exe manually it will come up in the process list as 'xyz.exe *32' but when I launch it from a bat file in a SQL job it come up in the process list as 'xyz.exe' and doesn't do anything.

My assumption is that SQL is trying to run it as a 64 bit process. Is there a way to force it to run as 32 bit from a SQL job?

Thanks
Scott

That is certainly an option. I was hoping to keep all scheduled jobs in SQL though.
