Error accessing Excel destination file

  • Not that I really think it will make a difference, but have you checked the 'Close Connection on Completion' Checkbox on the Workflow options|options tab? 

    Also, what about throwing a sleep 10 or something in between the Data Pump task and your mail task, maybe it's just not 100% closed before the next task trys to mail it out?

  • The checkbox is already checked.  In addition, I already had the thought of a delay.  The entire package right now takes around 13 seconds.  I added a SQL Task causing a 60 second delay between the pump and the copy/email.  It still had the problem!

    Due to changing user requirements, I just made some other modifications to the package.  These modifications caused me to have 6 data pumps instead of one (so I could push the data to multiple sheets instead of one where the end user has to sort and/or filter).  After that change and the addition of all the Success precedents for the email, it now works.

    Go figure.  Microsoft at its best!

  • see if this works....

    1. store data into excel sheet with temp name

    2. copy the excel file to a file with the correct name via an activex task using fso

    3. send the file
