Derek writes "Help!! I have only been working with DTS and Packages for
a short time but I am having an error that I cannot
resolve. I searched the archives and still have no answer.

I have a new package that I created that migrates data
from DBase III to SQL Server. On my development box, the
transformations work without errors. When I create the
same package on the server (on a completely seperate
network) I get the error:

"The process could not be created for step 1 of job
0x304B8834FF0218468E8000847D814E62 (reason: The system
cannot find the file specified). The step failed."

I am not using mapped drives on the server, nor am I
connecting to the server using Enterprise Manager, I am
connected via Terminal Server and created the package new.

To determine if the error was based on file or directory
permissions, I created a new package that merely deletes
nulls from an existing table. I can run this in the
Designer all day, no errors. Once I create a package and
Start the job, same error so, now I know it is not
specifically related to the file I am trying to import.

I am really searching for ANY ideas right now. I was going
to upgrade SQL 2000 to SP1, but dont want to unless it is
required for this.

Error: DTS Scheduled Package Failure
Database: SQL Server 2000
Server: Win 2000 Server, SP2
