Hi,

did you try with an Excel filename without blanks/spaces?

Does the service user for your QV-Services on the server has access to this shared folder?

When you're using the QlikView Client to execute your Script, it is executed as the user you're logged in. When you're starting the task in QMC, the service user executes the script.

Maybe you have to adjust the security of the shared folder '\\FPSERVER\Company\Shared\Household\TL - Performance\'.

Make sure that the user with which the qmc runs has access rights to these files.

I am the admin and i have access to all the files.

Does your user runs also also the qmc-services? More common is that they run with a generic admin-account and not with an user-account which has admin-rights.

In addition to what Marcus already stated, make sure that the Service Account that is running the QlikView Distribution Service has access to the network share that is listed in the error message. Remember that network shares have two sets of privileges: those for the share itself, and those for the underlying directory.

Since you're an admin, you can easily test this access problem by running QV Desktop as the Service Account on your server and performing a reload as the Service Account.
