It means that the data in the file or the structure of the data isn't what BCP was expecting. I suspect that the only way to find out is for you to post the actual BCP command you're using (be careful not to include the password) and attach the datafile. Of course, don't attach a file that has any sensitive or private information in it.

Since this appears to be for replicationn, the fix might be to drop and rebuild the replication.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
