CmdExec- in SQL Manager

[SeaninSeattle]

I'm building a job in SQL7.0 that includes a call to an executable on the root drive of the server. On the command line for that particular step, I have:

CmdExec C:\Ship_Notify\NotifyShip.exe

but it keeps failing to find the file. The exe file is there - and can be executed by double clicking on it...

Any ideas?

Thanks,

FROM BOL....

However, if you create a job that requires a drive letter or a universal naming convention (UNC) path, the job may run under your Microsoft Windows NT® 4.0 or Windows® 2000 user account while testing it. When SQL Server Agent then runs the job, it may not have the necessary permissions, drive letter configurations, or access to the required drive to execute the job.

Hope this helps
