    Reading about this after all the discussion, I'm starting to think it would have been a lot faster to try the import with VB or C#, or at least fix the format using VB or C#.

    I just can't believe this: it looks like a normal task, doesn't it? bcp should be able to handle this back to SQL2005 :angry:

    Using program to import data would be unrealistic to GB size file.

    Thanks.

    Actually, a "normal task" would be to have properly formatted data in the file. 😉 See my comments in my most recent post above.

    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.
