Msg 16821, Level 11, State 1, Procedure sp_makewebtask, Line 131
SQL Web Assistant: Could not open the output file.

Severity level:
11.

Description:
This error message appears when you try to call the procedure sp_makewebtask but the output file cannot be opened.

Consequences:
The T-SQL statement can be parsed, but causes the error at runtime.

Resolution:
Errors of the Severity Level 11 are generated by the user and are corrigible by the user. The statement cannot be executed this way. You must specify a valid and accessible path.

Versions:
All versions of SQL Server.

Example(s):
EXEC sp_makewebtask 'A:\test.html', 'SELECT * FROM Northwind.dbo.Orders'

Remarks:
In the above example we try to call the sp_makewebtask procedure to output the result to a file on drive A:\. As our machine does not have such a drive, the error is raised.
