I just wrote about it for TR. I can send you the article if you like. Susan H. I would take it you are right. The file is just a (CSV) file. It is on a mapped drive. What is this "linked server" and why do I need one to open a file? _______________________________________________ dba-SQLServer mailing list dba-SQLServer at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-sqlserver http://www.databaseadvisors.com
