I need to run a job under a specific ID and password so it can read a file
on a shared drive. When I change the owner to this ID the job still fails,
how can I use a specific ID and password that has access to this shared
drive on the network?

CSharpcode,

If you are using SQL Server 2005 you need to look at SQL Agent Proxies,
which use credentials that are created with a specific login AND password.
Read about those features in the Books Online.

If you are using SQL Server 2000, you have fewer options.
