Hi all, I'm testing a procedure on a combination of different Operating Systems with different versions of SQL express with the same data on all environments.Win7 + SQL2014 --> bcp queryout to a file and then bulk insert the same file --> works great!Win7 + SQL2008 --> bcp queryout to a file and then bulk insert the same file --> works great!XP + SQL2008 --> bcp queryout to a file and then bulk insert the same file --> Error" Bulk Load Data Conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified code page)I don't specify any code page!!!XP and win7 have regional settings set to English (united states)in both cases SQL 2008 collation is set to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS... what does Bulk insert do differently from one system to the other?I'm starting to think that it's the OS... can it be?or am I missing something... thanks in advance for your help .ThanksJG
