Lookup xp_cmdshell in BOL..

something like:


exec xp_cmdshell 'bcp "SELECT au_fname, au_lname FROM pubs..authors ORDER BY au_lname" queryout Authors.txt -c -Sservername -Usa -Ppassword'


EDIT: Didn't realise it was 2005, you will have to make sure you have access tp xp_cmdshell by running the surface area configuration utility..
