Exporting data from SQL Server to Excel

i;m trying to automate the exporting of data from an sql server table to an excel using this script

EXEC sp_makewebtask 
    @outputfile = 'C:\testing.xls', 
    @query = 'Select * from HCIndonesia_20Jul2010..Combine_Final', 
    @colheaders =1, 
    @FixedFont=0,@lastupdated=0,@resultstitle='Testing details'

but i;m getting an error:

Msg 15281, Level 16, State 1, Procedure xp_makewebtask, Line 1 SQL Server blocked access to procedure 'sys.xp_makewebtask' of component 'Web Assistant Procedures' because this component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server. A system administrator can enable the use of 'Web Assistant Procedures' by using sp_configure. For more information about enabling 'Web Assistant Procedures', see "Surface Area Configuration" in SQL Server Books Online.

This blog article might help you.

It sounds like you simply need to do:

sp_configure 'Web Assistant Procedures', 1
RECONFIGURE

And your script should work (as long as you have permissions on the SQL server)
