Unable to load GDI+

    I have a DTS package that is ran by a SQL Server job every night. In the DTS package, I have an ActiveX task that is loading and using ABCPDF3.DLL to generate a PDF file. When the job runs, I am getting the error "Unable to load GDI+" from the ActiveX task with the error source being ABCPDF3.

    When I run the DTS package directly on my computer it works without a problem. My computer runs Windows XP and the SQL Server runs Windows 2000. I am also using the same ABCPDF3.DLL on a web site that is running on Windows 2000 and am having no problems, so I don't see where Windows 2000 could be the problem.

    I'm thinking that the login used by the job doesn't have the correct permissions to launch the GDI+ DLL but have not been able to find which permission is needed.

    Any ideas?

    If you can run it, then the job needs the same privs as you.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
