• Going on from this, I'm trying to use this SSIS package in a SQL Server Agent job. I create a new job, add a step using the SSIS package and tick the 'Use 32 bit runtime' box.

    When I try to run the job it fails with the following error message:

    Date,Source,Severity,Step ID,Server,Job Name,Step Name,Notifications,Message,Duration,Sql Severity,Sql Message ID,Operator Emailed,Operator Net sent,Operator Paged,Retries Attempted

    Can anyone help with this?

    Thanks
