Nevermind, once I added my database name to the SQL statement it worked. Instead of dbo.QryJobTimeNoEntryLast30 it had to be Jobtracking.dbo.QryJobTimeNoEntryLast30.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Thanks for your help, Now when I try to run the T-SQL I get this message:
Error formatting query, probably invalid parameters

And I’ve even tried putting Select * from dbo.tblClients into the @query and get the same error.

If I take out the @query it sends the email just fine.

Thanks,
Dustin

You will want to create a SQL Agent job and have that job run the sp_send_dbmail procedure to send the email. One of the parameters of that procedure is @Query which will allow you to give it a SQL Query such as “SELECT * FROM MyView” and it will email out the output from the view.

I tried the above and am now getting the error “Failed to notify DustinL via Email”. I have setup DustinL as my operator, I’ve double checked my email address that I entered. I’ve even gone into the DatabaseMail and made sure the profile was correct. Also, I am able to send myself a test email.

Thanks,
Dustin
