I need to export a list of name and email address fields from a SQL
table, in some format so that a user can take the file I generate and
Import it into Outlook and it will keep all the names together in a
Group or Distribution List rather than dumping them into the user's
main address book. Any ideas?

I'd like to ask how you would get the OUTPUT below from the TABLE below:
TABLE:
id category
1 A
2 C
3 A
4 A
5 B
6 C
7 B
OUTPUT:
category count id's
A 3 1,3,4
B 2 5,7
C 2 2,6
The code would go something like:
Select category, count(*), .... as id's
from TABLE
group by category
I just need to find that .... part.
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.
Hi,
My report page settings are as follows
page width 28cm
page height 21cm
all margins 1cm
My report when rendered to the screen outputs the correct number off pages...HOWEVER when i export it to adobe i get a trailing blank page which accompanies each page break.
Can anyone please help ?
My report has a table which is bounded to a list with separate fields at the top of the list specifying the username in a text field and the table displays the user details, For each user there is a page break.
I have notice when i got rid off the list everything is ok, however the list seems to be within the boundaries of the report
Is there a way to set four part reference used in distributed query to a short

I hope this is an easy question.
I am setting up my replication as it is in 2000... I want to set most publications to share an agent but I also want a few select table to have an independent agent... My question is if I have ones set up as independent they stay independent correct?? I mean once I select a publication to be shared it does not share with an agent that is marked to be independant right? it creates another agent for all the shared publications...
ok... I hope that was not confusing... I just want to confirm what I was thinking.
Thanks ahead of time.
Hi,
View 6 Replies View RelatedHello,So my table contains say 100,000 records, and I need to group thecategories in fld1 by the highest count of subcategories. Say fld1contains categories A, B, C, D, E.All of these categories contain subcategories AA, AB, AC, AD,...AJ, BA,BB...BJ, CA, CB, CC...CJ, etc in fld2.I am counting how many subcategories are listed for each category. LikeA may contain 5 of AA, 7 of AB, 3 of AC, 11 of AD...1 for the rest and20 of AJ. B may contain 2 of BA, 11 of BB, 7 of BC, and 1 for the rest.I want to pick up the top 3 subcategory counts for each category. Wouldlook like this:Cat SubCat CountA AJ 20A AD 11A AB 7B BB 11B BC 7B BA 2So event though each category contains 10 subcategories, I only want tolist the top 3 categories with the highest counts as above. If I justdo a group by and sort I can get this:Cat SubCat CountA ... ...AAAAAA...B ... ...BBBBB...But I just want the top 3 of each category. The only way I can think ofto do this is to query each category individually and Select Top 3, andthen Union these guys into one query. The problem is that I have tohardcode each category in the Union query. There may be new categoristhat I miss. Is there a way to achieve what I want without using Union?Thanks,Rich*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Environment: Sql Server 2000 Transaction Rep Distributor. Pub, Sub, and Distributor on separate machines.
Distributor Agent Gets: "Timeout expired (Source: ODBC SQL Server Driver (ODBC); Error number: S1T00)" and the Session Details of the the Distribution Agent says "The process is running and is waiting for a response from one of the backend connections." Of course, in true MS fashion, the message does not specify which connection it is waiting on. It could be waiting on the Publisher or it could be waiting on the Subscriber. Does anyone know how to tell? It would be quite useful to know which "backend" is indicated!
We get this event like clock-work at exactly the same times early every morning as well as at other random times during the day. I can not see any reason for it. Do you have any useful advice?

Hard to write a subject line to describe this one.
Anayway, I have a table with names and address plus an extra field noting a part number of product.
I'd like to build a SELECT string that will return one result for each name/address (uniques only in other words) and build a comma delimited field of all the part numbers for that name/address.
Example:
NAME ADDRESS PART NUMBER
John Smith 555 Main st., los angeles, ca 90003 5000
John Smith 555 Main st., los angeles, ca 90003 6650
Mike Jones 8569 West 18th Ave., San Diego, ca 1255
John Smith 555 Main st., los angeles, ca 90003 5144
Mike Jones 8569 West 18th Ave., San Diego, ca 2399
So I'd like my results to look like this:
NAME ADDRESS PARTS
John Smith 555 Main st., los angeles, ca 90003 5000,6650,5144
Mike Jones 8569 West 18th Ave., San Diego, ca 1255,2399
THanks in advance for any suggestions!

I am using SQL Server 2005 and fairly new at using SQL Server. I am having problems using a Case statements in the select list while have a group by line. The SQL will parse successfully but when I try to execute the statement I get the following error twice :
Column 'dbo.REDEMPTIONHISTORY.QUANTITY' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
Below is the my sql statement:
SELECT dbo.DateOnly(TH.TransactionDate) AS RptDate, RH.Item,
ItemRef =
Case
when RH.Quantity < 0 then Sum(RH.Quantity)
when RH.Quantity >= 0 then Sum(0)
end
FROM dbo.RHISTORY AS RH INNER JOIN
dbo.TRANSHISTORY AS TH ON RH.TRANSACTIONID = TH.TransactionID
WHERE (dbo.DateOnly(TH.TransactionDate) BETWEEN '10-1-2007' AND '10-5-2007')
AND (RH.TransactionCode IN (13, 14, 15, 16))
Group by dbo.DateOnly(TH.TransactionDate), RH.Item
The TransHistory table contains, primary key transactionid, TransactionDate and the RHistory contains all the details about the transaction, the RHistory table is joined to the TransHistory table by foreign key TransactionID. I am trying to get totals for same item on the same day.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am also having trouble using If..Then statements in a select list and can not fin the correct syntax to use for that.
Hi,
Is there any way to group variables present in a select statement.
My code:
SELECT @var1=something, @var2=something_else
FROM ...
GROUP BY @var1
I wanted to group by 'something' hence I used a variable to assign it to. But I'm unable to group it.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have an SSRS 2012 table report with groups; each group is broken ie. one group for one page, and there are multiple groups in multiple pages.
'GroupName' column has multiple values - X,Y,Z,......
I need to group 'GroupName' with X,Y,Z,..... ie value X in page 1,value Y in page 2, value Z in page 3...
Now, I need to display another column (ABC) in this table report (outside the group column 'GroupName'); this outside column itself is another column header (not a group header) in the table (report) and it derives its name partly from the 'GroupName' Â values:
Example:
Value X for GroupName in page 1 will mean, in page 1, column Name of ABC column must be ABC-X Value Y for GroupName in page 2 will mean, in page 2, column Name of ABC column must be ABC-Y Value Z for GroupName in page 3 will mean, in page 3, column Name of
ABC column must be ABC-Z
ie the column name of ABC (Clm ABC) Â must be dynamic as per the GroupName values (X,Y,Z....)
Page1:
GroupName          Clm ABC-X
X
Page2:
GroupName          Clm ABC-Y
Y
Page3:
GroupName          Clm ABC-Z
Z
I have been able to use First(ReportItems!GroupName.Value) in the Page Header to get GroupNames displayed in each page; I get X in page 1, Y in page 2, Z in page 3.....
However, when I use ReportItems (that refers to a group name) in the Report Body outside the group,
I get the following error:
Report item expressions can only refer to other report items within the same grouping scope or a containing grouping scope
I need to get the X, Y, Z ... in each page for the column ABC.
I have been able to use this - First(Fields!GroupName.Value); however, I get ABC-X, ABC-X, ABC-X in each of the pages for the ABC column, instead of ABC-X in page 1, ABC-Y in page 2, ABC-Z in page 3, ...
On 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,

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?
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?

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,

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

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?
