[dba-SQLServer] Active Script Task in DTS

Joe,

I suspect it's a permissions issue.  What account is DTS (agent) running
under?  If its system then that may be the problem.
We did something similar once and found that creating a job to run the
package where you can set the permissions to
run under fixed the issue we were having.

cheers

The E drive is an actual local drive. I know the path works because I am
importing bom.txt in a previous step with success.

To note, it looks like I can't delete a file from an ActiveX task, which
is part of a move. I can use the CopyFile method from the
FileSystemObject but I can't do a move or delete.
If I run the code below from a .vbs file on the server that is running
the DTS package, the DeleteFile and MoveFile methods work!

I wonder is if this is some kind of limitation for DTS in SS7?

Thanks,

Are you sure that e:\ is the same drive you think you are referring to?
This can be tricky with DTS, I always use the UNC path to avoid
confusion.

In DTS designer, I added an Active Script Task to my DTS package as the
last step.
This task is supposed to move a text file from one location to another.
I am trying to do this with the code below but I get a permission denied
error.

Function Main()
        Dim fso
        Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
        fso.MoveFile "E:\ftp\bom.txt", "E:\ftp\pub\"
        Set fso = Nothing
        Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success End Function

I check the folder permissions and the Everyone group has full control
over these folders.
Any ideas?

Thanks!
JR
