xp_sendmail w/attachment

  • I'm creating a proc to send an email. Everything works fine (I get the email) until I try and add an attachment. When I add the attachment I get:

    "xp_sendmail: failed with mail error 0x80004005"

    begin

    select @email_recipients = 'user@address.com'

    select @email_subject = 'Test Subject'

    select @msg = 'Test Msg'

    exec Server.master.dbo.xp_sendmail @recipients = @email_recipients,

    --@attachments = 'C:\filename.pdf',

    @attachments = 'C:\filename.txt',

    @subject = @email_subject,

    @message = @msg

    end

    I know my filenames arew correct

  • Are they correct on the server or your workstation?

    It needs to be on the server.

  • I moved the files out to the server and it works now.

    Thank you

  • check if there is any program like AV tat is blocking you to send attachments from slq server.
