BCP Utility -- not a valid Win32 applicationI downloaded SQL Server Express yesterday for the first time. I used
the BCP utility a couple of times without incident but then it stopped working. I received a message reading "BCP is not a valid Win32 application". I uninstalled and reinstalled SQL Server Express but it did not resolve the issue. Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this? If not, is there a reasonable alternative I could use for importing/exporting data? Thank you. JT (john.thr***@gmail.com) writes:

Check your PATH to see if there is another BCP ahead of the SQL Server BCP in the path. -- Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, esq***@sommarskog.se Books Online for SQL Server 2005 at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/downloads/books.mspx Books Online for SQL Server 2000 at http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/previousversions/books.mspx Thanks for the response.

In the meantime, I've been using bulk insert queries which have been serving my purposes. JT (john.thr***@gmail.com) writes:
