ODBC Connect Failed in SQL Job

I am running SQL Server 2000 sp4 in Win Server 2003. I have a DTS

packages which connects to FileMaker 6 files via the ODBC driver

installed with FielMaker.

The DTS packages work correctly when

executed directly. However, when executed from a SQL Server Agent job,

the same DTS packages fail. Always with the same message:

Error: -2147467259 (80004005);
Provider Error: 16394 (400A)
Error string: [FileMaker][ODBC FileMaker Pro driver][FileMaker Pro]Connect failed
Error source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers

Searching

for info on the above message seems to indicate a permissions problem.

However, I am running the jobs with an full administrator account. All

connections and the FielMaker files reside on the one server.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

The error you saw is very general, the message indicated a connection fail, so please provide your connection string, and try to connect to your sql instance by simply use osql.exe, if failed, that means the basic connection did not work on your server, otherwise, the error triggered during data operation, then you need sql profile to track which client operation cause server close connection.

Thanks!
