    Unfortunately, my web hosting vendor does not allow xp_cmdshell or sp_OACreate. 🙁

    I was looking at these options to move a file as well as means to export table data to a text file.

    Could someone point me in the direction of another idea?

    Thanks.

    That's a real shame considering the frightful lack of security that a lot of web hosting vendors display that make any concerns about xp_CmdShell pale in comparison.

    Use a batch file to run a stored procedure from SQLCmd and redirect the output to a file. Or, use Powershell.

    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.
