I have a SELECT statement that I need to run on a weekly basis. I need the results to be put in CSV/XLS format and to be emailed automatically. Is there anyway to do this via a job?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Your best bet would be to create a DTS package, with your specified query, outputting to an excel file.
If the person receiving the data is an internal person, you could create a share on their PC to write the file to on a regular basis, if you schedule the DTS Package to run as a job.
For emailing the file, I'm not 100% sure, but will take a look and get back to you.

I don't know if Reporting Services exists for SQL 2000, but if you can get to SQL 2005, it exists there, and it provides a subscription capability one can add to any given report, that would be ideal for your situation. You can even set up a "data driven" subscription, such that a query can be used to generate the list of subscribers, and data from that query can also be used as a parameter input to the query that's the basis for the report itself, such that each user get's a customized report based on their information from the subscription list query.

Ah yeah, Reporting Services is the easiest solution and is available for SQL Server 2000.
Visual Studio to define the Report, and Report Manager to configure a subscription to any email addresses you want...
Even if you;ve never used Reporting Services before, it's quite easy to pick up and you could have it set up within a day.
