I have tried to schedule a job either to run by SQL server or by "at". The job runs an executable made by vb, which automates Access and opens a mdb file. In the mdb file, there are a few tables linked to SQL server. But when it tries to run a query in the mdb file to access the linked tables, it pops the error "ODBC connection failed". The error never pops if I run it either from typing the command under DOS or by double cilcking the executable. Please help.

The jobs probably runs under your locale system account. Check on the sql server that this user has rights to access the server.
