Data Download via ODBC

sql server odbc:

Server is SQL 2000 SP4. We are trying to pull some data from a Progress 9.1d
server via ODBC. If I go to the local packages, open the package in question
and execute it, everything runs fine and it gets the data. If I try and run
the job manually from the job list in the SQL server agent, it fails with
the following error showing in the job history:

Executed as user: <service account>. DTSRun: Loading... DTSRun:
Executing... DTSRun OnStart: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_1 DTSRun
OnFinish: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_1 DTSRun OnStart:
DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1 DTSRun OnError: DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1,
Error = -2147467259 (80004005) Error string: Specified driver could
not be loaded due to system error 126 (MERANT 3.60 32-BIT Progress SQL92
v9.1D). Error source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
Help file: Help context: 0 Error Detail Records:
Error: -2147467259 (80004005); Provider Error: 160 (A0) Error
string: Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 126
(MERANT 3.60 32-BIT Progress SQL92 v9.1D). Error source: Microsoft OLE
DB Provider for ODBC Drivers Help file: Help context: 0
DTSRun OnFinish: DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1 DTSRun: Package execution
complete. Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.

All I've been able to find about the error code 126 is the ODBC driver and
error -2147467259 seems to indicate a problem with the ODBC driver. But if
the driver was the problem, I don't understand why it only fails when run as
a SQL server agent job. I tried changing the service account to an admin
account instead, but it didn't make a difference.

Not sure where else to turn, so I'm hoping some people here might have some
ideas.

Thanks

Brian

First, when you execute a package manually it runs from your
PC and under your security context. When you schedule it as
a job, it runs on the server and under the security context
of the Agent service account if the job is owned by a
sysadmin (otherwise it executes under the proxy account
security context).
Did you install the Merant drivers on the server? Error 126
is "Module could not be found" and the other error you are
getting is for unable to load driver. Looks like all the
needed pieces may not be installed, setup on the server -
only on your PC.

Sorry I wasn't clear. Everything I am trying is on the server.

Yes. They test and work correctly when I execute the package, but not when I
run the job logged on with the same authority. I also tried using the
service account authority and that didn't work either.

Try logging onto the server using the service account that
SQL agent runs under. While logged in using this account,
install the Merant drivers.
And it never hurts to run Component checker to make sure the
MDAC installation is correct. You can download the tool
from:
