"Invalid pointer" Error

[itsmarkdavies]

I am trying to use the SQL Server Export Wizard to export the results of a query from a SQL Server database to a Text file.

Thw Wizard gets to the last screen but then says it has run with Errors.

The Error is "Invalid pointer", and the Text file is not created.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Mark D.

couple of thoughts....

1. what kind of data do you have? could there be some invalid imbedded characters in the data that the program is not liking?

does this happen with just this table or all tables you do the functin on? if it happens with only this table, it is likely a data issue. you could try to duplicate the table with one row and do that.

2. could be a bug that you could look up at support.microsoft.com. maybe there is something documented.

no answers but a few thoughts to narrow down the issue
