Hi Phill,

Yes, I did try creating and using a format file to bcp in and out. Still got the same result going in, and bcp out, the money columns came out as garbled characters instead of numbers.

In the end I did end up linking to SQL Server 2000 and using DTS. I agree it is much nicer. However, I'm still curious to figure out why the bcp utility is not working for me.

Thanks for your help!
