SQL Server Exported Text File Differences

[User 4501991]

Morning All, I have queries that I developed and run in SQL Server that export the results to a Tab delimited text file (no header row). That text file is linked to an Ms Access database using a text file link spec. The same query run in Server 2005 and Server 2008 results in text files that have the same data but structural differences. I have to have a separate spec for 2005 and 2008. Also suprising is that the 2008 version of the text file approx half the physical size. The output of the processing in Access is exactly the same with either version of the text file. Any ideas in what the difference(s) is between 2005 and 2008? Creating two link specs can be pain if the text file contains dozens of fields. Thanks for any Help Gene
