The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

SQL Server 2005 - Send E-Mail

Asked by CipherIS in SQL Server 2005, MS SQL Server, SQL Reporting

Help!!!!  Ok here is the problem.  I know enough about dbases to get myself in trouble.  I never used the dbase to send e-mails.  I've always developed an application to perform the e-mails.  I kind of like that because it is easier to troubleshoot for me.  Anyway, we had this one guy who worked with us but long story short he had to be let go.  He set up the e-mail in SQL server.  The last time the e-mail worked was before we changed the login info - we created a new account and password to the dbase.  I was able to figure out that that was part of the problem.  

So, went to System Databases | msdb | Security | Users and created the new account and mimicked what the old login.

I then went to Management | Database Mail | Configure Database Mail.  There I only had to modify the Manage profile security.  I went to Private Profile and selected the new log in and clicked on the Access check box.

So, if I run exec sp_sysmail_activate the e-mails are generated.  The problem is that they are suppose to be generated programatically.

He created a bunch of stored procedures in the dbase like sp_SendEventEmail.  I just can't find where they are called from.  In addition I am reciving the following error message:

Message
The activated proc [dbo].[sp_sysmail_activate] running on queue msdb.dbo.ExternalMailQueue output the following:  'The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'xp_sysmail_activate', database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys'.'
 
So, if I run the EXEC command in SQL server the e-mails will go out but I need it to work programatically again.  Any ideas?
