Job ownership problem

Dear all,
I have scheduled some jobs in SQL Server Agent to run some DTS packages. The
original owner of these jobs is "sa". However, when I changed to the owner t
o
be another SQL login id, e.g. myUser, the scheduled jobs failed. "myUser" ha
s
the "db_owner" role. The owner of DTS packages is "Domain\Administrator" and
I logon the Windows server as local Administrator. I am not sure if there is
any problem on this. Can anyone advise? Thanks.
IvanIf the job is owned by sa or a login that is a member of the
sysadmins server role, then the job executes under the
security context of the SQL Server Agent service account. If
the job is owned by a login that is not a member of the
sysadmins server role, then the job is executed under the
security context of the proxy account.
And then...the default setting for SQL Agent is that
non-sysadmins cannot execute CmdExec or ActiveX scripting
jobs. Scheduling a package is done by executing a CmdExec
step in the job.
That the basics of it and why you are having problems with
your job. You can find more information in the following
