5/30/2007 5:28:32 PM
5/30/2007 5:28:16 PM

This could be because the regional settings of the server are different, or
your login's language setting on SQL Server is different. The problem is
that going into your server it is probably interpreting 5/30/2007 as: Day 5
of Month 30, which is invalid, of course.
If that is the problem, create a login on your SQL Server with a
default_language that uses the proper regional settings. For example:
Create Login AmericanImport WITH Password '####',
default_language='us_english'
Grant the AmericanImport login enough rights to bcp in the data to your
database, then run bcp using the AmericanImport login, which is using a
language setting that will properly interpret dates in this format.
