Hi,

Anyone know of you can hard code sql for the text to be bold, underlined, certain color etc when using sp_send_dbmail?

Like body = Bold

Cheers

text formatting is a front end display consideration. Sql has nothing to do with it and does not provide any support that sort of thing. However, you can certainly hard code in "markup" language that your front end is aware of. For instance if the output will be part of an html page you could hard code html markup language and concatenate that along with your database values.

For instance to generate an html page you could:

select '
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>' + title + '</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="page">
<a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=209092" title="microsoft.com/web" >
<p><img src="iis-8.png" alt="Microsoft Internet Information Services 8.0" class="hero" /></p>
<p><img src="msweb-brand.png" alt="Microsoft.com/Web" class="url" /></p>
<p><img src="w-brand.png" alt="Microsoft Windows" class="brand" /></p>
</a>
</div>
</body>
</html>
