Hello

I need to export the results from a query(returning tables) to an excel/csv file using BCP. I used the

EXEC master..xp_cmdshell '
bcp ''THE SQL QUERY COMES HERE'' queryout 'C:\Export.xls' -c -C RAW

Though it said the query was executed successfully, i still cannot see the excel file. Anyone has a hint of whats happening here
