    OK I seem to have identified the source of this issue...

    My destination table has more rows than my flat file and they are in a different order.

    I thought bcp was supposed to work when there was a different number of rows but it would appear that is only one sided...

    I have worked around this by implementing a staging table.

    Do you mean "columns" rather than "rows"?

    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.
