Unable to add FromName to e-mail using cdosys in SQL Server 2008
- by Alex Andronov
I have a piece of cdosys code which runs correctly and generates e-mail with my SQL Server 2008 server talking to a MS Exchange 2003 Server. However the from name is not appearing on the e-mails when they arrive. Is there a fault in the code is it not possible this way?
Thanks in advance

-- sample error handling.
