basicly i want to run a job once every 5 minutes that sends an email to an operators list if the result is true or false. the only way i can really see the sql server agent being able to do this is to somehow force a fail and have it email on fail, or is there a smipler way?

Hi First You have to configure database mail in Management folder after that create a new job in agent , there you will find different options

such as step, schedule,opretaor and notification. which one you can use according to your purpose.

already doing all of the above. the problem is that a job only has the option to send an email on the following conditions - success, failure or completion. it can't do it based on the results of a query.

I have reporting services installed as well and it's subscription model can't do it either...

clearly write ur issue and situation . So that i can tell u about exact solution or what do want to capture or process in ur job. you can handle these system stored procs.

You can use the following SP sp_send_dbmail inside your job/query to send a mail. If you wrap this inside an IF statement the mail is sent when a condition is true (or false, depending on your needs).

Look at BOL for complete syntax.

thanks hanshi, works perfectly. there wouldn't happen to be a method that sends a popup via net send would there?

Try defining an operator that only receives notifications using net send. Then, use sp_notify_operator to send a notification to that operator.

I haven't tested it myself - but, it should work.
