Greetings,

If you set up a job, be it with a script or with DTS, and the job fails, does it have any type of negative impact on the system if you don't fix it or disable it?

I know this a a bit elementary but please let me know.

thx

It depends on what the job was doing and if there is any dependency of any functionality on the success/failure of the job.

Thanks a lot for your prompt response.

The job was supposed to extract data from sql db to Access db.

However, there are a couple of other databases running on this sql.

Those databases are not mine but I didn't think this was affecting them but I wanted to ask you experts so I can be sure.

Thanks again

from your description the only folks being affected seem to be the ones using the Access db.

Thank you so very much.

I have had situations where someone is allowed to set up jobs to run on their databases even I am the owner of the sql box and I see these failed job errors but they don't impact my db negatively and so I didn't bother but not sure why I am getting "warnings" from these guys to fix it or disable it.

Thanks very much again.
