Hi. Using SQL Server 2000, my goal is to automate a query to run every morning for example, saving its results to a file such as a CSV file.

I have searched on the internt on how to have a query automatically save its results to file. All I get is "In Query Analyzer, click on file and...".

I have had a look at xp_sendmail, which has a query parameter, unfortunately there is no MAPI client such as Outlook installed on the server.

I knew it would be something simple like this. Now to format the output into something sane... well, I can figure that out. Thanks for your help.
