Help sending email

[B]

My code below works fine when run from my pc (changed all the values for
obvious reasons). The code is placed inside a DTS task via VBS scripting.
But when I try to run directly from the server where sqlserver is installed,
the script fails.

I have SMTP running, but there is no outlook installed.

Can someone please advise what I am missing.
Thanks

Hi B

One thing you might try is change

objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configu
ration/sendusing") = 2 to objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configu
ration/sendusing") = "2"
quotes around the 2.

I spent several hours a week ago trying the very same thing and that made
all the difference.

Also is \\server\test.csv accessible from the server you are running this
on?

Here is the full text of the DTS Package I wrote. Note that I don't think
all the fields you included are necessary.

'************************************************* *********************
' Visual Basic ActiveX Script
'************************************************* ***********************

Function Main()
email_alert "dc******@yahoo.com", "Ge*********@whitehouse.gov","Test
Subject", "Test Body"
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End Function

Sub email_alert(strTo, strFrom, strSubject, strBody)
Dim iConf 'As CDO.Configuration
Dim imsg 'As CDO.Message
Dim flds

Set imsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")

Set flds = iConf.Fields

'The http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/ namespace defines
the majority of fields used to set configurations for various CDO objects.
We set and update the following three fields (SendUsing, SMTP_SERVER, and
TimeOut) of the Configuration object:

With flds
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") =
"2"
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") =
"smtp-server.mn.rr.com"
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout")
= 10
.Update
End With

Set imsg.Configuration = iConf
imsg.To = strTo
imsg.From = strFrom
imsg.Subject = strSubject
imsg.TextBody = strBody
imsg.AddAttachment "c:\log\myfile.txt"
imsg.Send
End Sub

Follow-up to my original post below.

Is it possible for the "objEmail.To" to lookup the values from a sqlserver
table?

At the moment, I type the email address separated by a semi-colon.

TIA~

Hi B,

Well not directly but you could create an ADODB Command, Connection and
Recordset and use the command to return you a recordset from the Database
that would have 1 or many email addresses that you could concatenate
together and stick in the objEmail.To field.
