Just recently my SQL server agent has been causing problems with my Outlook. When the Agent is started, it causes all processes on Outlook to hang. As soon as I stop the Agent, then Outlook works just fine again. Does anyone know a possible cause for this. Up until a couple days ago things were working just fine, and then this problem seems to have popped out of nowhere.

I would like to configure e-mail alerts on my SQL Server 2000 box.However, we also run Exchange on the same machine. I've been told therecould be conflicts/issues having Outlook on the same machine asExchange; and apparently, one needs Outlook to configure a mail profilefor SQL Server Agent.Is there, in fact, anything to worry about? If so, are there anywork-arounds beside moving Exchange to another server? (we've only gotone server, so this is not an option for us at this time).Thanks.- Dana
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've just installed and configured outlook 2003 with sql agent mail and I've come across a strange conundrum: messages from agent mail are not actually sent unless the outlook client is open, but the default mail folder is locked by agent when agent is started, thus preventing outlook 2003 from opening. If I try things the other way - opening the client and then configuring/restarting agent mail - then agent mail can't access the default mail folder because the client has it locked.
There doesn't seem to be any way to win here.
Anyone come across this issue and found a workaround?
I have a Reporting Services 2005 report that is emailed to users. I created/formatted the report based on how it looked in Outlook 2003 which all of our users had at that time. The report is wide, but just fit in the email window when it was full size. Now I have a user who has been converted to Outlook 2007 and he emailed me a copy of the report he received in Outlook 2007 and it looks like it reduced the column sizes; it does not fill the entire email window and wraps the wording on most lines because the column sizes have been reduced.
The report is:
Delivered by: Report Server E-mail
Include Report is checked
Render Format is Web archive
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Can anyone recommend a source of info on connecting Outlook to a SQL database of contacts? Also interested in third party tools/solutions that I could just buy and customize.
I need to be able to get at data from my own VB apps, but it would be nice to dump contacts into Outlook for people taking laptops and CE machines on the road. Even nicer if they could use Outlook to update addresses and upload to SQL Server.
Or am I just dreaming?
Hi,
I just installed the SQL Server 2005 eval version on my laptop to try it out and now Outlook crashes. There appears to be a conflict with Outlook Business Contact Manager, which might be running its own database under the covers.
When I try to start Outlook I get the error message "Business Contact Manager has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience". The button choices are Debug, Send Report Later and Don't Send. Clicking Don't Send closes Outlook.
I found some info on modifying the registry to disable BCM, which I did, but I still get the same error and Outlook won't start. I also tried removing all of the SQL Server 2005 stuff from my path environment variable but it didn't work either.
Any suggestions would be appreciated because I depend on Outlook for my email and contacts.
Thanks,
Mike
Guys
Does anyone know of a 3rd party module/plug-in for VS or even some
downloadable code that enables the import of Outlook/ACT and similar contact
information through an ASP.NET page into a SQL Server table with ongoing
1-click button sync.
I need to replicate something similar to the Intellisync tool used in Yahoo
Mail.

Outlook says 'to prevent your privacy outlook prevented the image download' I don'y want users to right click and download image from the 'empty box'.Here is my code:
SET @EMAIL_CONTENT = '<html>'+CHAR(10)
+ ' <body>'
+ ' <p> '
+ ' Happy Birthday..! '
+ ' <span style="font-size:large;">'
+ @FIRST_NAME
+ ' </span>' +CHAR(10)
[code]....
is it possible to write a script for Microsoft outlook that will execute a query to an sql server 2005 and populate a public "contacts" folder?
i know there are expensive syncing applications, but i would just like to script and buttonize the manual export-import process.
is it possible? macros?
what is required? ADO/DAO/other
is there a basic example of this or just a script sample of connecting and retrieving a dataset from the server?
thanks,
Leon
when I run a package from a command window using dtexec, the job immediately says success.
DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_SUCCESS (0).
Started: 3:37:41 PM
Finished: 3:37:43 PM
Elapsed: 2.719 seconds
However the Job is still in th agent and the status is executing. The implications of this are not good. Is this how the sql server agent job task is supposed to work by design.
Thanks,

We just moved source server to newer, bigger box ... Windows 2003 and Active Directory ... Snapshot agent worked but distribution failed ... Same login as on older machine, login is sysadm, used DCOMCNFG to allow ability to launch process ... What are we missing?

View 1 Replies View RelatedOn our SQL 7.0 servers we have always used Outlook 97 as our mail client and until last week we've had no issues with this setup.
A week ago a number of the servers with this set up started hanging on jobs with mail statments using xp_sendmail and the only solution was to reboot the server. All the servers use the same NT account and the same mail box for the mail. I've talked with our Exchange guys and they say that nothing has changed on the mail server. I found a Q article (Q315886) that suggests starting sql as an application not a service to see if pop ups could be causing the problem. Well no pop ups.
I installed Outlook 2000 on the boxes and that seems to have fixed it. Or at least no problems today with those servers.
Has anyone seen this before or have any idea what might be the cause of it?
thanks

Anyone ever setup the OutLook Express client to use SQL Mail ? I'm able to send messages via OutLook Express; however, SQL Mail doesn't recognize any profiles.
In using OutLook Express do I need to also setup a PostOffice. My server currently doesn't have any POST OFFICE or Mail software under control panel.
Thanks in advance,
Walker
Is there any way to stop Outlook97 from checking for new mails automatically?
Thanks for any help!
Anybody use them together? If so, how did you set it up?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a question that I hope to get an answer from you.
We had an exchange central which used to get data from the outlook and save it in the database, then we have another solution that filters the data we need from there and save it into another database to produce a report for the economy department to be used for wages. Now the exchange central has many problems and they decided not to use it any more. What I want to do is to get data(calendar posts) direct from the outlook into my SQL 2000 database. Is it possible? If yes, what is the best approach to do?
Thanks in advance

When I try to view someone else's Calendar in Outlook I get this message:
The messaging interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook.
Of course restarting Outlook resolves nothing. Please help.
Hello all,
I am trying to build some sort of interface either directly in MS Outlook on the client comp. or a stand-alone app. The requirement works somewhat like what is done between a PDA and MS Outlook, with the exception that the data only goes one way - SQL Server --> Outlook.
I want to allow for the user to choose from their data in SQL Server and have it bring that data down into their contacts folder. It will need to work over the internet, and MS Exchange is not a preferred method.
Clients are not on the same network as the server, they only connect to the internet via IP and use simple POP mail accounts.
Thanks ahead of time.

Does anyone know the 'trick' in getting sqlmail (sqlserver 7.0) to work with Outlook 2000 on a windows 2000 server machine. I've setup a mail profile on Outlook, but it is not listed in the dropdown menu in the sqlmail properties.
Outlook communicates with my smtp/pop3 mail server - no problem. I can't get sqlmail to interface with outlook. Basically it is telling me that it cannot find ANY profiles on the server.
I'm trying to make SQLMail work. I have installed Microsoft Outlook 98 with MSSQL 7.0 on a NT Server 4.0 with Service Pack 6. I have set a profile for a user with admin rights to start a service. I can successfully start up with SQL with this account. When I try to start up SQL Mail it comes back with this error:
DESCRIPTION: Error: 0, Severity: 19, State: 0
SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 34 generated fatal exception c0000005
EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process.
With another dialog box:
Error 22030: A MAPI Error (error number: 87) occured:
Can any one Help??
Do I need reapply the service pack??
We do not have any licenses for MS Outlook and our main e-mail client is GroupWise. Someone has told me that we should be able to use the Outlook Express client to activate SQL Mail. Is this true; if so how is it done. If not does it make since to put the GroupWise client on the SQL Server ?
Thanks in advance,
Walker
I'm trying to set up Sql Mail using Outlook 2000 and the only way I can get a message sent is to have the Outlook client open at the time I start Sql Mail. Sql Mail will start regardless of the profile chosen even if it is blank, but if the Outlook client was not running at the time I started Sql Mail then while executing xp_sendmail I get "Server: Msg 17914, Level 18, State 1, Line 0 Unknown recipient: Parameter '@recipients', recipient 'jcorriveau@homeruns.com'"
Regardless of the Outlook client status or profile setup when performing a MAPI profile test, <SQL MAIL><Properties><Test>, I receive "SQL-DMO(ODBC SQLState: 42000) Error 22030: A MAPI error(error number 273) occurred.:Unable to get the default MAPI Message Store due to MAPI error 273:The information store could not be opened."
I've setup Sql Mail and Outlook 97/98 clients in the past and have not had to have the client open when starting Sql Mail. I've read most of the technet and knowledge base articles and the only ref I can find to this problem is a note in Q248431 "note that outlook 2000 or another configured MAPI client must be started before xp_startmail is executed." Was this the case in Outlook 97/98?
The Exchange server is in another domain. I think it's version 5.5. I'm using my domain account and profile to setup Sql Mail. I can send and receive mail fine using Outlook 2000. There is a Password dialog box that appears when starting the Outlook client prompting for User Name, Domain Name, and Password. I have not been able to create a profile that gets around this dialog box. Is this an Exchange server setting? If so, is it a server wide setting or can it be disabled per mail account?
Any help with this will be appreciated. Thanks, Jim
We have a SQL 2000 cluster running on WIn2003. in a normal sql install you install Outlook client on SQL Server for Agent to use to send messages. Do you have to do something different for a clustered environment?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy IT manager doesn't like the idea that a production process written in DTS needs Outlook 2000 running for DTS Email. I tend to agree that having an app like Outlook 2000 running in the production machine is kind of tacky. Am I missing something here? Why would MS suggest such a solution? Is there a way to configure DTS and Outlook so Outlook doesnt have to be running as an app?

I'm sending data from a simple query using xp_sendmail and the @query variable to send via Outlook 2000. Everthing is fine data-wise, but the font of the data is wrong in the e-mail causing the columns of data to be justified all over the place.
I would like it to send in 'courier new' font to fix this problem, but SQL server defaults to use plain txt so the e-mail client receiving the information is not forced to use the font and uses its own default (which again throws the alignment out). I need to make it use the 'Rich Text' format to enforce this but SQL seems to bypass this when sending via sp_sendmail.
I know this is more an Outlook problem, but it is the way SQL 2000 uses it that is my issue here
thanks

Is there a way to export a list of email addresses to outlook based on certain query conditions? So for example, lets say using pubs, I want to send out an email to a group of authors who have published only one book. So could I essentailly query for the authors and then have those corresponding authors emails sent to outlook so that I could send out a generic email asking them if they are going to write another book or something like that?

sql 2005 table ?
Hi everyone,
I need to assemble information from my outlook account into a database table. Is it possible to insert "title" of a set of mails recieved into a table ? sender's name ? recipient's name? body? etc...
thanks
Hi,
I had a question. Is is good to configure Outlook Express as my default mail client for SQL Mail. I had to do this as Outlook 98 was not responding and there was couple of other problems.
I've got an archive of old emails from a previous employer I want to import in SQL for a little side project - to make the emails easily searchable, queryable, and to do a few things with the contacts. I've stripped all the attachments out because I didn't want to store them or have them cause issues.
I don't know of a way to do this - exporting the folder in Outlook to CSV is garbage. That CSV file is so mangled with junk...
I tried access, but get this error in 2013 when trying to import for an external source
Microsoft Access can't find the wizard. This wizard has not been installed, or there is an incorrect setting in the Windows Registry, or this wizard has been disabled.
I don't have any addin - I installed Access from the web....i can't imagine an incorrect setting, but I've tried repairing and search Google with no luck...
Not sure if this is possible, I have a requirement, when email comes into our MS outlook Inbox, we need to identify the email based on the From email address and read the data which is in the body of the email. I do'nt know if we can do something like that using SQL 2005, any ideas?? Thanks!!
