  This is a great solution and works for me when run through BIDS or SSIS on the server from MSDB. When I run it as a SQL Server Agent job as CmdExec or SQL Server Integration Services Package for the job step type, I get the following error when the program to password protect an Excel task/file is run:

  Error: 2011-07-12 11:35:15.58

  Code: 0xC0029151

  Source: Password Protect Excel File Execute Process Task

  Description: In Executing "\\myServer\e$\DBA\Programs\ExcelPasswordProtect\PasswordProtectExcel.exe " "0 "\\myServer\e$\DBA\Data Pulls\file.xlsx" 1234511" at "\\myServer\e$\DBA\Programs\ExcelPasswordProtect", The process exit code was "-1073741819" while the expected was "0".

  End Error

  I've looked all over and tried numerous things regarding the exit code error of "-1073741819", but haven't found a solution. I've really opened up permissions on the server. Used a proxy, tried local system, tried my domain account (admin group).

  Server:

  Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise

  SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise

  Any help or more questions to stimulate ideas would be most appreciated!

  Thanks,

  Darren

  The error number 1073741819 in hex is 0xC0000005 which indicates an access violation in windows.

  An access violation means your process has tried to access memory (ie dereference a pointer) that does not belong to it.

  Is it a script task that is throwing the error?
