You can use the dtexecui.exe utility to create the command line, and then copy and paste the command line into the job step.[/quote]Fri, 18 Jul 2008 09:46:12 GMTMG-148046http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic536858-148-1.aspxIt looks like the package is running in the 64 bit environment. Packages on a 64 bit server need to run in the WOW layer (32 bit) since SSIS is still a 32 bit process and there are no Jet drivers for 64 bit. I think it is a different command line but since I don't have any in SQL 64 bit, I'm not sure how to set it up.Fri, 18 Jul 2008 09:39:56 GMTMG-148046http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic536858-148-1.aspxI have done a package in the sql server integration services 64 bit and schedule the package in sql server job when running the job in sql server 2005 it is giving the error message.MessageExecuted as user: EASYERPRS1\SYSTEM.
