Here's one I've never seen before


SQLState = 37000, NativeError = 173 

Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The definition for column 'Bonus' must include a data type.

Any ideas?

I guess the ")8" in the column name is throwing off bcp. Have you tried a view instead?

A little sp_rename before I start the process, bcp in, sp_rename back after
