Hi All,

Thanks for the help

USE Master

EXEC xp_startmail 'outlook', 'drive8'

Use inv_tracking

Declare @MyRecipients nvarchar (50)
declare @expirery_date datetime
declare @EmpID int(4)

Set @MyRecipients = 'derek.kemp@pesl.com'

Declare MyCursor Cursor For

select EmpID, expirery_date from driver_licence_abstract where DateDIFF('d',now(), expirery_date) < 90

Open MyCursor

Fetch Next From MyCursor Into @EmpID, @expirery_date

While @@Fetch_Status = 0

BEGIN
Set @MyMessage = 'Please be advised that : ' + @EmpID+ '.
Drivers Licence will expire in 3 months. Please Notifie the Branch Mangers.
The experation date is : '+ @expirery_date + '.'


Exec master.dbo.xp_sendmail @MyRecipients, @MyMessage

Fetch Next From MyCursor Into @EmpID, @expirery_date

End

Close MyCursor

Deallocate MyCursor
