can't get alerts to fire!

Hi,
Hope y'all can help...
I've tried to get it to fire from a specific error # as
well as from a severity level. I have also done all the
troubleshooting tips on BOL. Still no dice. The job
itself executes, this I've checked. I turn the service on
& off, and that registers on the event log, so that's
working.
Thanks!Is the error you are defining the alert on appearing in the event log? =If not you will need to define the error to write to the log - see =sp_addmessage for details.
