Link Server Error: [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7399)

I have created a link server between SQL Server 2000 and
MS Access. If I run the job manually, the job runs fine.
But, if I schedule the job, it fails with the follwoing
error message.
Executed as user: raj. OLE DB
provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.
[SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7399) [SQLSTATE 01000] (Error
7312) OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB
Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'
IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].
[SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 7300). The step failed.
I have also created a DTS package to update another Access
database, if I execute the package, it runs. If I schedule
the job, the job fails.
I have checked the permissions for the user Raj and it has
all the privilges.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Please suggest, how to fix this issue.
Thanks,
Raj
With what account do you use to start the sqlagent with? Does that have
necessary permissions?

I solved it by using absolute paths in place of drive letters when defining the linked server
So in place of z:\folder\file.mdb I wrote \\servername\share\folder\file.mdb
this solved the issue for me
