Clive,

I answered your query on another thread but there seems to be a common problem with cdosys and attachments. Many people have posted their procs on this site and I used one of them and altered it for my own use. If you email me I will send you my proc to try, it works for me.

Far away is close at hand in the images of elsewhere.

I hope this turns out to be useful to someone. I found the core of this code from another SQL site (before I found this one )

If you're in a setup like us and cannot use CDONTS, this is a reasonable alternative, I think, using ASPMail by ServerObjects.com. You also have the ability to specify your own SMPT server, and with a few lines, make the SMTP server a parameter. It defaults to HTML formatting for the body. It also accepts attachments. If you send an attachment, it makes a feeble but reasonable attempt to remove the HTML tags so it can send as regular text (which is a function of the mail component).

Regards -

B

I like the suggestions, and the ability to attach a SQL query output to an email.

I know the following works - EXEC ('master..xp_cmdshell ''isql /o' + @filename + ' /d' + @database + ' /Q"' + @sqlquery + '" /E''')

But the only problem with the above is that you need SYSADMIN access to run XP_CMDSHELL

I DO NOT want to use XP_SENDMAIL as it uses MAPI . Is there any other way to attach SQL queries.

How do I send this attachment as a parameter?

I would like to pass the parameter in the job, like

EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @iMsg, 'AddAttachment',@rv out, @ATTACHMENT

and then in the job have @attachement = 'c:\test.txt'

The following is the cdosys mailer .I can send mails but attachment is not working.

I dont have any clue why the attachement dont works.

Also if i write

EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @imsg, 'AddAttachment', NULL, 'E:/test/test.txt'

i.e by passing values directly it doesnt send the attachment.

actually when i use

IF @hr 0

BEGIN

SELECT @hr

INSERT INTO [dbo].[g_send_fail_error] VALUES (getdate(), @@spid, @From, @To, @Subject, @Body, @iMsg, @hr, @source, @description, @output, 'Failed at sp_OASetProperty Attachment')

EXEC @hr = sp_OAGetErrorInfo NULL, @source OUT, @description OUT

IF @hr = 0

BEGIN

SELECT @output = ' Source: ' + @source

PRINT @output

SELECT @output = ' Description: ' + @description

PRINT @output

INSERT INTO [dbo].[g_send_fail_error] VALUES (getdate(), @@spid, @From, @To, @Subject, @Body, @iMsg, @hr, @source, @description, @output, 'sp_OAGetErrorInfo for sp_OASetProperty Attachment')

GOTO send_cdosysmail_cleanup

END

ELSE

BEGIN

PRINT ' sp_OAGetErrorInfo failed.'

GOTO send_cdosysmail_cleanup

END

That is to trap the value.@hr returns -2.17 so the particular syntax

EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @imsg, 'AddAttachment', NULL, 'E:/test/test.txt'

yields error @hr returns -ve value.

Could u trace this problem.
