In SQL express I can save a query result as a csv file. And that works nicely. But here is the problem. I send the file to a server that reads ; - seperated files, but it fails to read the file. The only solution is to open it excel and then save it again as a csv file. Then it works without any problem.

Have You seen this problem before? I wouldn't expect a microsoft product having difficulties to generate a working csv file :p

any suggestion to solutions?

In advance tx ;-)

Have you tried Exporting the file with a specific delimiter , and then seeing if you can IMPORT on the other server ?
