How to allow use to exec xp_sendmail

I have a stored proc that assigns a value to a field based on user input from an Access front end.

The last part of the stored proc sends an email if certain conditions are met.

It appears that users do not have permission to execute xp_sendmail. I guess this is because it is executed on the master database. Is there a way I can give them permission to this stored proc?

The users are getting this message:

EXECUTE permission denied on bject 'xp_sendmail', 'database master', owner 'dbo'.(#229)You can grant a user to execute xp_sendmail by going to properties of xp_sendmail in master database and grant the user permission to execute.

How to alert via email when Agent records errors/warning in log?

We are in on SQL2000 and our SQL Server Agent started to receive errors for
Mail Profile not available. It wasn't until we looked at the agent error log
we saw the problem.
Is there any way to report the SQL Server Agent Warnings/Errors via email or
alert as a pro-active stance?
Hi
Instead of using alerts you could have steps that send emails, to avoid mapi
you can use SMTP see http://www.sqldev.net/xp/xpsmtp.htm. The sending of the
email can be determined by the jobs workflow if necessary.
If you are looking for a product to monitor your server then you may want to
check out MOM.

How to add a newline sequence

I have a SQL 2005 stored procedure to generate an email when passed parameters such as receipient, subject etc

One of the paramteres passed to it is @.body which is the body text of the message. I want to be able to add a couple of blank lines and then some footer information. This is working right now except I can't find the right way to add newlines into the string within the store procedure, so my footer information just tags right on after the bodytext.

I have tried \n but that literally adds the two characters \ and n

Can anyone advise how to generate newlien sequences in T-SQL.

Regards

Clive

Use the CHAR function e.g. CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)

Seehttp://doc.ddart.net/mssql/sql70/ca-co_4.htm
