hello,

the answer was very simple. If you type set within the DOS prompt it will
show you all the variable settings including the PATH. During the
installation I remember that the setup asked where do I want to put the data
and where do I want the executables. Well, I put EXE on C: and then DATA on
H: and of course never thought that this would haunt me down the road. For
some weird reason when I typed set I didn't find any path or information
about the SQL. Maybe the last software that I installed on the server took
the SQL info out within the PATH.

I edited the PATH and only told the system about the SQL on C: and tried
running one of the Jobs and it executed without a hitch. It was a lucky
guess I suppose since most of the tips were talking about permission. Oh
well...

Cheers,
DMC
