hello:

can anyone tell me how to embed a single quote that is part of a name in the @recipients= paramter of the xp_sendmail.

for instance:

xp_sendmail @recipients=joe.smith@xx.com;nancy.o'donnell@xx.com;tim.bim@xx.com',@attachments='xx.txt',@subject='subject'

i tried ' and `.

thanks

xp_sendmail @recipients=joe.smith@xx.com;nancy.o'''donnell@xx.com;tim.bim@xx.com',@attachments='xx.txt',@subject='subject'


This should work.

much thanks, looks like the 2 quotes worked though I'm not sure why. the 3 quotes made sense because you are throwing a quote within quotes. but 2 ?
