I have a SQL query that returns 1 column. I run it in SQL Server Management Studio 2008R2. I use File\Save Grid Results and create a .TXT file.

My problem is the first record of the file has 3 bytes inserted in front of the data. The three bytes are x'EFBBBF'. This causes problems when I use the file in another process.

I get the same thing whether I save as .TXT or as .CSV.

If I do Query\Results to File I get the same 3 bytes.

Any ideas?

Found it.
Do Save Results As
Enter file name. Save button now has a dropdown arrow to the right.
Click on arrow and select Save with encoding and select ANSI
