I am using sql server 2000 sp3a.

How do I start (run) an external file. ie, run a vbs or exe fro Query
Analyzer or from within a job step.


Thanks,
Yaniv

Within a jobstep you can choose that the type of job step is "Operation
System command", put your command in here. Another option would be tu
sue the procedure xp_smdshell which call call the commadn interpreter,
therefore you have to choose TSQL Command execution in the job step.

Run vbs file
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'cscript /nologo c:\file.vbs "stringarg" 5'
