Error with Flow Logic when creating a JOB

I have a sql server automatic job set up containing 2 steps.

First step is an Operating System Command (CmdExec) type job which
runs a .bat file which copies across a backup file to this machine.

The second step is a Transact -SQL Script (TSQL) type job which runs
the RESTORE DATABASE REPLACE command which restores the backup file
copied across in step 1.

Step 1's advanced option says: On Success Action: Goto Step [2]
Restore the database.

Step 2's advanced option says: On Success Action: Quit the job
reporting success.

On clicking ok I receive the error message:

"WARNING: The following job step(s) cannot be reached with current
flow logic: [1] Transfer the Backup File. Are you sure this is what
you want".

The job fails to run.

Both steps do run successfully when set up as two separate jobs - not
like this which has the two steps in one job.

Anyone have any ideas as to what the flow logic problem is?

I would guess that you have somehow set Step 2 as the starting step in the
package. Look at the "properties " for the job, check the "steps" tabbed
dialog and verify that the "start step" in the dropdown list box in the
lower middle of this dialog is set to your step 1 task. Reset it, if
necessary.

Otherwise, you could throw the job away and start over, being careful to put
your step 1 in first and then your step 2 in second to help SQL server
understand what you're trying to do.

Yes, you were right. Thank you very much :) It's all sorted now. I
had the start steps the wrong way round.
