    From your post I can't tell if you are using '\ n' (no space between the \ and n) as your row terminator.

    There is no space.

    So, does this mean you are using the \ n (no space between the \ and the n)?

    Yes ma'am. No spaces at all.

    First, sir. Second that's my dad.

    Have you tried \ r \ n (again with no spaces between the \ and the r and n).

    Hm. I didn't know it could do that. :blush:

    Now that my face has been properly de-egged:

    Yes, with this error message:

    Msg 4866, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    The bulk load failed. The column is too long in the data file for row 1, column 2. Verify that the field terminator and row terminator are specified correctly.

    Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.

    Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1

    Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".

    This is with the phonenumber field set to varchar(7), as it should be in the file.
