I am getting the following error when connecting to an excel file - the connection is a variable set in a foreach loop container

Option "Source=D:\Upload_Dump\XXXXXX.xls;Extended" is not valid. The command line parameters are invalid.

the file is present and the package runs perfectly well in design mode. Running the package through the SQL Agent gives this error, so it could be security, but I can't see why as I have other packages which import succesfully (also excel files) from the same directory.

Any ideas?

Thx

Is the D drive on the server or your local machine?

If it is on your machine, try using the UNC path instead of D:
