osql doesn't work - SOLVED


Sory for starting a new message, it won't let me reply to the original.
Problem has been solved.

osql -U sa -s localhost\BALTD

Does the trick.
Thanks for everyone who had a look at it anyway!
Enjoy your weekend!

Hi

With osql the case of the parameter is important for the server you need a
capital S. A lower case -s is a column separator. If you do not specify a
server then it will default instance on the local server will be used.
