I have the following problems1) When I want to create the textfile to a location other than the c: drive of the sql server, I get an error "Cannot open output file - N:\osqloutput.txt". Is it possible to have a different location?2) Can the OSQL statement be used within the procedure itself." |

| Why not use bcp? It's specifically designed to export (and import) text files from SQL Server. Books Online has more details, and it works a lot like osql does. |

| Using mapped networked drives work for me when I use osql. Can you post your command? And yes you can use OSQL in a procedure (xp_cmdshell), but why would you even want to?Tara |
