Can someone help me with this.

I need to bcp a table to a comma sperated file. I want to use text_qualifier as double quotes and the first line of the text file to contain the column headers.

This can be easily done using DTS but I need to use bcp because I'm trying to automatically generate the table names in a script.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

I don't think either requirement can be fulfilled directly with BCP ... You may be able to write a proc to generate your source rowset in the format that you want and then use that proc as the "query" arg for bcp.

On the other hand, dynamically generating the source and destination with DTS isn't that hard either ....
