  I am running a SSIS package to get data from a spreadsheet.

  I log onto the SQL Server as the profile running SQL and can manually run the package direct from BIDS, no problem.

  If I run as a scheduled job then the job fails stating that the path to the file does not exist.

  I have checked the path name numerous times and the task is running asthe same user in both cases, but only works direct from BIDS.

  What am I missing?

  Thanks

  Colin

  And you're right, that is usually the problem: permissions.

  All,

  Have resolved the issue by moving away frrom a mapped drive and using full file path \\ServerName\Director\AnotherDirectory\etc

  Thanks

  Mapped drives are a bad plan using SSIS, stay away.
