xp_cmdshell + iexplorer

[vlitim]

I am trying to use xp_cmdshell to hit an asp page:

exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell '"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"

http://www.testsite.co.uk/test.asp'

if I run this normally through the webbrowser tha ASP page sends an email, but when I use xp_cmdshell nothing happens. Is what I am trying to do possible?

Cheers
Tim

I can't tell you why it's not working, but why not use SQL server to send out the email?

You can use http_get.exe to request the web page. You can't use ie from xp_cmdshell.
