| You can also use bcp to output a CSV formatted file (or any delimiter, or fixed-width). It is a command-line utility like osql but is designed specifically for outputting data to files. Books Online has more information on bcp. |

| Or you could use the FOR XML clause on your query and an XSL transformation to create a CSV file.Damian |
