Oli writes "I am trying to write a stored procedure the will email a file. The SQL Mail extended procedures; xp_startmail, xp_sendmail, xp_stopmail , etc, appear to be available ONLY on the master database, i.e. If I run the following via SQL Query Anlaylzer on Northwind database;
exec xp_sendmail @recipients = 'mymail@address'
, @subject='test subject'
, @message = 'test message'

The follwoing error is returned;
Server: Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Line 1
Could not find stored procedure 'xp_sendmail'.

If I run on master database, it's ok! Sureley xp_* procedures are not restricted/limited to the master database? So how do I get this to work?

Many thanks.

try something like this....

exec master.dbo.xp_sendmail

@recipients = 'mymail@address'
, @subject='test subject'
, @message = 'test message'
