DTS Error involving Access

Hello,

I have a DTS package that migrates data from Excel to Access to SQL Server. Before that occurs, at the very beginning, I have a delete script that deletes the existing data in the Access database. When I hit that first step, it gives me the error:

Microsoft JET Database Engine (-2147467259) - The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '<path to access .mdb>'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.

I checked the permissions and the account that the web site is running under (impersonated) has full permissions to the file. Also, I am running the web site on my machine, I'm triggering the DTS package through .NET code, the access database is on a file/print server, and the SQL Server is a separate machine.

I'm thinking that maybe the issue is that the access database is on a separate machine, but I'm not quite sure.

BrianHow exactly are you running the DTS package? Are you triggering a SQL Agent job, or some other way? The security context is different depending on how you are executing the package.

You might find this link to be helpful:INF: How to Run a DTS Package as a Scheduled Job.

Terri|||Through VB.NET code, using the DTS library. Also note that, when I kick it off manually, it works fine. I also can open up the access database with no problems.

Could you help me with this problem: I have a DTS
executing .bat file and when try to run it in enterprise
management error occurs "The device is not
ready." Other DTSs with SQL queries work fine.
I'd guess that DTS is trying to access a physical drive letter that
doesn't exist or isn't mapped. Use UNC paths instead of drive letters
and see if the problem goes away.

Are you sure the account running the DTS script has access to the UNC
you provide?

Similar issue will occur when using the DTS import/Export wizard, select
the option "Copy Objects and data between SQL server databases" and the
script file directory pointing to a wrong drive.
If this is the case, to narrow down the issue, copy the script file to the
local hard drive and recreate a new DTS package to test.
I hope the information is helpful.
