HI,

How can I open an excel file from a stored procedure? what I like to do to run my SP and at the end add a command to open an excel sheet I have?
Thanks.

Your application will need to open the file after the stored procedure completes. Stored procedures run server-side, so the file will open on the server and not be visible to the user.

I am saying that it needs to be done in your application and not inside the stored procedure. Stored procedures should be used for data access and not to do things that an application is designed to do.
