  • Hi Sanket,

    May I know which version MDAC are you using on this server? If you are not using MDAC older version, please try to upgrade it to MDAC 2.7 or higher.

  • In you BCP command line you specify line 2 as the first line but if you look in the sample .txt file the column headers appear on row 2 as there is a blank row.

    These column headers contain the '-' character which is may be the cause of your error.

    Try changing the BCP command line to start at row 3 (-F3) or manually remove the initial blank line from the .txt file.

  • still getting the same error

  • Try putting the server name in double quotes like -S"abc\xyz" I have had similar problems and the \ in the server name seems to throw bcp
