SQL DTS package scheduling

When a DTS package is scheduled to run at a specific time of day, is it done through the use of a stored procedure or a job?

My DTS package runs normally, but hangs when run as a SQL Job

Hi, I’m trying to run an Ms Access .mbd file through a MS SQL 2003 Server. The package runs normally and works when I start the job, but simply hangs when I run the package as a a scheduled job. I’ve designed a DTS local package as follows:
‘**********************************************************************
‘ Visual Basic ActiveX Script
‘************************************************************************
I
Function ConvertIssue3()
Dim objDB
Set objDB = CreateObject(“Access.Application”)
objDB.OpenCurrentDatabase(“H:\dep\Convert\Convert.mdb”)
objDB.Run “ConvertIssueSlips”
objDB.CloseCurrentDatabase
objDB.Quit
ConvertIssue3 = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End Function

Originally I thought it might be a security issue, but when I change ownership of the job to a user without admin privileges, the job simply fails, where if I make sure the owner is an admin, the job hangs. In the package I changed clicked both boxes in the work flow properties tab: Use ActiveX script and Execute on main package thread. I’ve tried just about every combination of these options, and I still have the hang problem.

Does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong. I’ve searched the internet for a while and have yet to come up with a solution. If not, does anyone know of a different way to run the Ms Access file? Any advice will help. Thanks.
