Enterprise Manager : YourServer : Management : SQL Server Agent : Jobs

Right Click the job and choose PROPERTIES

[Notifications] : "Email Operator" - tick the box, choose the Email Operator, and "When the job fails"

Hi The "Email Operator" is grey out for some reason, would you know why this is ?

You have to click the checkbox in front of it.

Otherwise it probably means that SQL box is not set up to send EMails, yet! (Needs a bunch of MAPI stuff installing, and configuring, before SQL Server can send emails)
