Terry,

Any chance the TDS version is wrong for the server? The bcp protocol
varies quite a bit between the two implementations. It should be 5.0 or
7.0 for Sybase and Microsoft respectively, never 4.2. Is tsql happy?

If that's not it, please post the TDSDUMP log, taking care to erase any
password.

Also, what version or snapshot date? And what server flavor? Bill will
want to know. :)
