| set the batchsize to 1 and fail on first error. It will be the row after the last one imported.Otherwise just split the file into smaller files until you find the record.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
