  • Your question is a little ambiguous..

    You want to use the login that your SQL Agent to access a file that is a data source in a dataflow task?

    From where, SQL Agent, BIDS? Where?

  • It sounds like you need to have permissions setup for that file. My guess is that the user that SQL Server uses to login doesn't have permissions on that file. so you find out what user SQL logs in as and have the powers that be grant rights to where the file is.
