Can you log in to your system interactively as the same user that runs the scheduled job (ie the SQL Server Agent user) and then try running the job again - just to rule out any security / privileges issues?

hi,

hearty thanks for your reply...

if i disable that script task and schedule means the package is running smoothly. if i enable that task then it is showing the above said errors..

so it means im able to schedule the packag!! rite?

I am not suggesting a scheduling problem. I am suggesting the possibility of a user-privileges problem. Maybe your script does something that you (or the user that you were logged in as) are allowed to do and the SQL Agent user is not. Particularly if the SQL Agent service is running under a local system account, rather than a domain user.

From the error messages, I'm guessing you are doing some kind of Excel automation. Correct? If that is the case, you have to make sure that the account you are using for SQL Job execution have enough permissions to work with the Excel API.

What account do you use for execution in SQL Job Agent? Did you try to setup proxy account?

COM object is the Excel automation object you are using in your script task. It is an older technology still used by many Microsoft products.

Try to setup a proxy account by following the description in the link I have sent you.

To avoid the message boxes generated by Excel you have to setup these Excel.Application properties:

workBook.Application.DisplayAlerts = False

workBook.Application.Interactive = False

Because these are Excel specific questions, if you have additional Excel related questions I would recommend that you ask in a different forum. This is SSIS specific forum.
