Help needed: Scheduling of package fails

Hi there,

I have followed the steps in BOL (not too complex really) to schedule a package in SQL Server
Agent.

My package reads out Data from the SQL Server and writes some log into a file. It is encrypted
by a password and is stored to the filesystem.
Executing the pkg via dtexec works fine.

Then I've created a new job with one step via SQL Server Management Studio, added
the package and password when prompted.

I took the command line params and used them with dtexec: It woked.
I started the job manually from SQL Server Management Studio by selecting "start job"
from the context menu.

But when I try to schedule the job nothing happens. The only trace I can find is a warning in
the SQL Server Agent Error Logs:
"[162] Internal request (from SetJobNextRunDate [reason: schedule will not run again]) to deactivate schedule 2"
This is inherent when you configure a schedule to go off once.

Thanks in advance
FridtjofI have found the error:

I created more than one Schedule with the same name from within the job step schedules New button. That seemed to confuse the Server Agent. After correcting this everything worked.
