Hi, i have written a DTS package that copys data from tables in an access database to a sql database.
when I execute the DTS package all is successful.
however, when running as a job , it fails with the following error :

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] '(unknown)' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.

I am using a domain admin account to run the SQLSERVERAGENT service and that domain account has permissions to the access databases..

why else would this fail ?

regards,Jamie

just to let you know this worked fine on a win2000 server running sql2000
now I am using win2003 server with SQL2000.

check the accounts on the following (they all should be the same, to be on the safe side)
- mssqlserver
- sqlserveragent
- sql server properties

if they are all ok, it might be something to do with unc.
