i'm trying to run this simple test script using the osql utility

exec master..xp_cmdshell 'osql -Q"select * from %syslogins..master%" -oH:\testfile\stats.txt'

and i'm getting this error message

cannot open output file

no such file or directory.

- I have created the file and I still get the same error.

any ideas?

thanks rich
