The following should work for you:

SQL

DECLARE @FileName varchar(50)
SET @FileName = 'C:\Pending invoice.txt'
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "select customers.customer_name,invoice.invoice_date from 
customers,invoice where invoice.customer_id=customers.invoice_id and status='Pending'
" queryout "' + @FileName + '" -U ... -P ... -c'

Replace ... with the user/password combo that you need.

Thanks for your post
I do that with username and password but problem still there for
"Invalid object name"
But that query works on SQL 2000 but don't know why not working with SQL 2005
May be premission for database
I am user sysadmin "sa" for that

Can any body solve this

Thanks
