Cannot view log for SQL Agent job (SQL2005)

Hi,
I've set up jobs and output files in SQL2005. When the job is completed, I
would like to check the output file by clicking VIEW button. However, the
button is grey-out.
The owner of the job is sa. What is other permission I missed ?
Thanks.

According to Books Online it is not available in SQL 2005
From Books Online:
View
In Microsoft SQL Server 2005, this button is disabled for viewing output
files. Instead, use Notepad to view job step output files. In Microsoft SQL
Server 2000, this launches Notepad to view the output file.

I guess that if you are looking at a SQL 2000 instance of SQL Agent then it
will bring up the log file in Notepad!!!!
