This is a fairly perplexing problem for me. We have a application that writes files out to a shared drive that I need to process each day. We run SQL Server 2008 R2 in a 64 bit environment. My script runs fine in BIDS but when I try to
run it with SQL Agent I get the message :
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "'X:\20121001\' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.".
I've tried using the UNC path and everything else that I can think of. The SQL Agent job runs under a Proxy Account which uses my credentials. Do I need to give the Proxy Account some additional privileges?
The thing that I can't figure out is why the path is marked as invalid when it runs in SQL Agent but not BIDS. I've been working on this all day and would like to put this thing to rest!
