• the mail runs from the msdb database, so you have to fully qualify everything, like

    EXEC msdb..sp_send_dbmail

    @profile_name = 'reports',

    @recipients = 'test@test.com',

    @subject = 'Monthly Job Creation',

    @query = 'EXEC Production.dbo.udsp_rpt_adm_monthly_jobs'

    i think if you are using a query, there are other parameters required to decide where the results of the query is going to go, like as an attachment or int he body of the email;

    this is the example i tend to like a lot:

    declare @body1 varchar(4000)

    set @body1 = 'Sample Email from SQL2008 ' + CONVERT( VARCHAR( 20 ), GETDATE(), 113 ) +

    ' '

    EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail

    @profile_name='gMail Example',

    @recipients='lowell@somedomain.net',

    @subject = 'SQl 2008 email test',

    @body = @body1,

    @body_format = 'HTML',

    @query = 'SELECT top 3 * from sysobjects where xtype=''U''',

    @query_result_header = 0,

    @exclude_query_output = 1,

    @append_query_error = 1,

    @attach_query_result_as_file = 1,

    @query_attachment_filename = 'qry.txt',

    @query_result_no_padding = 1
