The line of code looks like: bcp "SELECT * FROM Clinton08..Customer" queryout "D:\SQL Data\Exports \Data.csv" -c -t, -k -T The problem lies in the -t, which sets the field terminator as a comma.

It's just too good of a feature to not have installed by default. He also adds a lot to the community besides PowerTab, so I hope Microsoft buys it from him instead of developing it in-house.
