Hi,

I'm having an issue running DTS packages via the SQL
Server agent. The jobs run fine when running manually
though can't be scheduled.

I have read many posts discussing the same issue and have
passed the MSDN article regarding this matter to our
network guys though to no avail.

The job basically, delete the contents of a table, picks
up a file from a network directory and transforms it into
a table.

I've included the dump below though the jist of the error
is that : "The network name cannot be found."

If anyone can suggest what might be happening here and the
best way around it I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Ian.

Most likely when run as a job, the SQL Agent start up
account doesn't have permissions to or can't find the path,
share that you are referencing for the file. That's the
step, area you probably need to focus on. This issue is
addressed in the article regarding scheduling jobs:
