Bold Lines In Text Based E-mail
Jun 13, 2008
Hi everybody,
I'm sending text based e-mails using SMS and I need some lines to be bolded. I don't want to switch to HTML based just to make some lines bold. But, I cannot figure out how I can make the lines bold in SMS. I didn't see any options in SMS to bold a line of text. Is there any any function available for varchar datatype that will bold the text or something like that? or will I have to go to HTML based e-mail? any help is greatly appriciated.

Just thought I'd point it out as something that needs fixing. This is inconsistent with every other MS product using the VS.net IDE framework.
I'd post it on Connect but then I'd wait 2 months to get "won't fix - this does not 'fit' with the current Katmai schedule" i.e. if I'm lucky (based on the new improved 3yr delivery of sql) it might get delivered in 2011. Wow.
Imagine if Xbox or PS3 designers told their customers, "sorry we know that up/down/left/right are in fact right/left/down/up, as you may expect on a game controller, but if you wait 3 years we might fix it"

I am using SSRS to generate letters to be sent out for my company. I have run into a few problems and some I was able to solve with work arounds but this one I am having the most difficulty with.
I have a text box with like a paragraph of text and I want to have just a few words within the paragraph to be bolded. There are some parts that I needed underlined so I used a rectangle to encapsulate a word i needed underlined and then set the rectangle bottom border to solid and then sent it behind the text box. Which will create a fake underline for the report.
but as for bolding a few words I am at a loss. I tried to create multiple textboxes all side by side by each other but that didnt work out because there were too many formating complications and SSRS isnt exactly WYSIWYG and it was becoming a mess. So, I need another way to bold words without using text boxes side by side by side.

In SSRS I am trying to get a textbox value to hold text with a mixture of formatting, along the lines of "name (country)" where the "name" part is bold and the "(country)" is normally formated.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

I'm using SQL mail to send an email from a stored procedure which works fine. However I need a line break in the middle of this email which I am struggling to achieve. I've tried adding char(13)+char(10) to the middle of the email body string but this does not seem to do anything.
Any ideas?

I have a DTS that reads in a bunch of transactions daily to a tran history table. I read them in from a text file each day. The problem is, that about half of the lines in the text file contain semicolons because they are comments. What I do now is, import the whole thing, and then do a Delete on my tran hist table for all lines with semicolons. As my tranhist table grows, this Delete will start to take a long time. How do I filter it so it doesn't even import the lines with semicolons to start with, that will run faster and save me time later.
Thanks,
Andrew

I have a dtsx package that works fine with one exception. When I open the dtsx package in BI, it gives me the following message:
Document contains one or more extremely long lines of text. These lines will cause the editor to respond slowly when you open the file. Do you still want to open the file?
When I respond yes, the package opens and I can edit or execute with no problem. Still, I want to understand what could cause this message to occur and, more importantly, how I can get rid of the message. When I try to simply execute the package I still get the same error and it seems this will be a problem for trying to run the package from SQL Server agent.
It seems likely to me that this message refers to the dtsx file (in xml format) itself. Does that make any sense?

Basically remove any line that start with a "#" or any blank lines..
I am assuming you can do this only using a script component and not directly through ssis..but i am not too familiar with scripting...so some code would be helpful
Thanks for any help in advance.

I have a task where I need to process roughly 60000 excel spreadsheets and bring them into a SQL Server 2014 database. All excel files have the same format and same number of identical columns. I have set up an SSIS package that is using Foreach Loop Container to look into a folder and process these files one at a time and load them to a table. The mappings are straight-forward, no problems there.
I am attaching a sample spreadsheet with two tabs - current structure and desired structure.
Basically what I need to do is to repeat the first 7 columns based on the number of lines in a transaction.
The number of lines is variable per patient.

I am trying to bcp import a text file into a SQL Server 2000 database.The text file is coming out of a java application where orderinformation is written to the text file. Each record is on it's ownrow, so the last item in each record has a new line character at theend of it to create the next row. This works well in creating the filehowever bcp does not like to import this text file with the extra blankline at the end. If I change the new line character to the beginning ofthe records then there is a blank line at the top of the text file,which bcp also does not like. Does anyone have any suggestions for meto get around this issue?Thanks,

Hello,
SQL SERVER 2000:
My problem is that I have to process a special text file every day which contains 0 ASCII values to separate fields. The DTS import program drops everything after the ascii 0 value in the row, but of course I need the entire row with all fields.
So how can I prevent the text file import task from dropping everything after the 0 ascii value?
Could you help me in this?
thank you

Hi,
I've created a dataset with 27 measures and 20 query parameters. When attempting to load the report containing this dataset I'm shown the message;
'Document contains one or more extremely long lines of text. These lines will cause the editor to respond slowly when you open the file. Do you still want to open the file.'
If I do open the file it does indeed respond very slowly or even hangs.
I can manually format the XML code but amending the code in any way (i.e. using the layout designer to move a chart) removes my formatting and re-introduces the problem.
Are these an unreasonable amount of measures / parameters?
Environment;
VS2005 v8.0.507
MSSQL 2005 9.00.1399.06 Build 3790 SP2
Windows Server 2003 SP2
Many thanks.

I am listing detail transaction lines in a table sorted by account and order number.
the problem is that I only want to see the detail if the sum of a value field is zero for all the transactions in an order otherwise ignore the detail for that order.
I was trying Group by and Having but this doesn't seem to do what I need.
Being relatively new to Reporting services, any nudge in the right direction would be useful.

Hey guys, I need a little help for my group project(Using ASP.NET 2 connected to SQL Server 2005). Here's the scenario:
Our system is basically a sort of login/logout system, so we have a table that has (Name, Date, Subject, TimeIn, TimeOut).
1. User registers on website, so information like e-mail is recorded into the database (and the user in the website is "linked/checked" to his data in the SQL Server for verification).
2. Users can choose to subscribe to a weekly report e-mail(maybe using a simple "IsSubscribed" boolean value in the database).
3. Every week, our system scans the database for those users who subscribed, then send different e-mail reports depending on the particular user (a compiled weekly report for Mon-Fri).
Is there such a feature in Database Mail? If not, how do I execute these types queries and just set them as a Scheduled Task?
Any help would be appreciated.

I have been using database mail for quite a few years now. I started using it with SQL Server 2005 and then it worked fine. Then we went over to SQL 2012 and the problems started. At first I could not get any e-mails out and read a post by Microsoft that a patch needs to come out but not available yet. That was in 2012. Presumably the patch came out with windows updates and my DB Mail started working. Now, however, I have the problem that some e-mails do get sent but the majority failed.
I use this so that whenever a user captures certain data to update a person's status on the database then an automatic e-mail will be sent to that person to inform them of their status at this company.

Kind of a newby sql question, but here goes:I have a sql 2005 database that I have a job that runs Sunday morning at 12:30 am. I set it up using SQL Svr Mgt Studio 2005. Under the Management directory I set up Database Mail to work with my local SMTP server. I can send a test email just fine.I then set myself up as an operator with my email address. (Under operators directory) I then went back to the properties of the job I set up, and under 'notification', chose e-mail operator (me) when Job Succeeds. The job runs, itt suceeds, but NO email!It flat out won't work. there are NO entries in teh( email) log for errors either. Anyone? TIA Dan OR is it better to script these jobs using xml? I don't have time to learn a new thing right now, just need it to work!

I want to bold a single word in a Textbox on a RS2005 report. Is there a way to do this? The text is always bold. Like this:

Hi,
Need help. I'm trying to format one of the field bold but need to do this in the expression. This is the example:
=Format(Fields!CMVendor.Value,"Bold") & chr(10) & Fields!CMContractNo.Value
Because I have two fields separated by line feed (chr(10)), I need to format the first field as bold. Obviously, that Format(...,"Bold") does not work. Anybody has came across this before, please enlighten.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I have an HTMP form and for some reason, when I use a regular TextBox to display a field, Via an ASP conneciton to the database, it cuts it off when it gets to a " (A quote)
Example:
Field: Title
Data: Where do "rabbits" come from?
If I try to pull that field into a regular html textbox it dispays,
Where do
Then if I change the textbox to a textarea it displays the entire field
Where do "rabbits" come from?
Is this a setting that causes this in SQL Server on the table.
I am new to SQL Server and am trying to learn these little differences.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to insert a special character that will make the values in the column BOLD when I use that table as reference in my Word Mailmerge. For starters, I was able to insert char(10) as carriage return, so when I use the values from that table in my mailmerge, the char(10) is effective, meaning, the carriage returrn is working, but how about making the font bold? Please help.
Example is:
insert into table(customer_address)
values ("123 hayworth drive" + char(10) + "new land grove" + char(10) + "chicago" + char(10))
This value when used in a Word Mailmerge, will be displayed as:
123 hayworth drive
new land grove
chicago
Now, how do I insert a special character for bold font?

Example, I want my fields to appear in bold and string in normal.. I can't do this in an individual textbox due to space constraints

I have one table with text column(varchar50) and 2 value columns(INT)
it looks like this:
c1, c2, c3
1, null, text1
2, null, text2
3, null, text3
4, 3, text4
What i want to do is to combine c3 on row 3 and 4 so the output would look like this:
c1, c2, c3
1, null, text1
2, null, text2
3, null, text3
4, 3, text3 ext4
I have tried to use CASE with no luck.
edit:
output like this is also fine
c1, c2, c3
1, null, text1
2, null, text2
3, null, text3
4, 3, text4
5, null, text3 ext4

Hi,
i have a table, that i am trying to compare values. I want to highlight the cheapest field's contents (price) for each tuple. The field itself could be different for each field depending on its price. the table i have is below;
Pos |AlbumTitle |Artist |Virgin | Woolworths | hmv
-----+---------------+--------------+-------+-------------+---------
1 | Confessions |Usher | 2.99 | 9.99 | 13.79

6 | Greatest Hits |Spice Girls| 12.99 | 0.99 | 13.79
im not sure if this would be a good format for the table, i cant figure out how to find out which field is the lowest value and how at all i would be able to make the value itself bold or stand out somehow.
Any help/advice would be welcome!!!

I need to search a nvarchar field based on the format of the text. This field holds values in two formats: 000 000 000 000 and 000000. I only want to search through the records that are in the 000 000 000 000 format. Can anyone give me direction on how to go about doing this or give me some key words to search for on Google? Fixing this problem is not an option. This is a county tax DB from a poor county with almost a million records in it.

I am putting together an invoice for my company. I have a text box describing each section of the invoice, followed by a table to list out the charges. I am using multiple tables based on what type of charge the client is receiving.
I would like to hide each section if there are no items purchased of that type. I can do this with the table using the expression "=CountRows() < 1", but I do not know how to refer to that table (call it Tablix1 for the sake of discussion) for the text box. I've tried using a ReportItems function as my basis, without success.
