Hi,

I looked up CODEPAGE=RAW for Bulk Insert and Tried it too.

still unsuccessful.

I've been searching to understand the behavior of bulk insert under different operating systems and can't find anything on the web.

The bcp and bulk insert work fine on SQL 2008 under windows 7 but gives an error under SQL 2008 under XP...

I checked the versions of BCP and they're the same, since I haven't found a way to find the version of Bulk insert, I suppose the version goes with SQL2008 so should match.

maybe the version of the copy command? I use the copy /b command to merge the title row with the data (as I found over the web)...

I continue to try to understand and search for answers...

Any idea is welcome.

Thanks

JG
