Job runs succesfully, but database not updated

I have created a job to run an executable. This executable has to read an
Excelsheet in order to import the data into the database.
I got the message that the job has run succesfully, but the data is not in
the database.
My job looks like this:
c:\mydirectory\bin\excelimport.exe /Slocal) /D:DataComp 20051020
S: --> the local server
D:--> database name
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards,
LoHi
You don't say where the job expects the excel file to be! Have you looks at
SQL profiler to see what is happening when the program runs?

I have updated the string like this
c:\mydirectory\bin\excelimport.exe /Slocal) /D:[DataComp 20051020]
The path to the excel sheet is in the excelimport.exe.
Do you have any other idea'
Thank you for your help.

I would not expect any error messages from SQL Profile, just the information
about which database it is running against and what SQL statements are being
executed by the job. You can then confirm that it is not connecting to the
correct database or that it is not finding the file.
Do you have a dynamic properties task to change the destination database?
