Hi Pcelba,
Thanks for your reply, I noticed that i had typing mistake in my question, it is databasename which i used after bcp.
re the sa user, i can login using sql authent. by user sa although when you look at the security\users node under the specified database i have users such as dbo,buildin administrators,,,,, but not sa explicityly. but the dbo loginnn. although i have the user sa declared under the selected server, please find attached snapshot. Hope this could give you some ideas about where the problem is.
Many thanks.

I forgot to tell you that i am doing RemoteDesktop to the customer site. As you probably noticed the bcp command that doesn;t have any -T switch does ask for a password but no matther whether i type in the windows administrator password or sql password it doesn't like it. I am sure it is something to do with the login set up on this server, please help . Thanks.

Interesting. Above syntax should be equivalent for SQL Server. But it is not true for bcp utility... I am learning instead of helping.

It should be:
