   You can use BCP:   
      
      bcp db.dbo.tbl out file.txt -c -t; -T -S Server   
      
   First argument is table name in three-part notations.   
      
   Second argument is the direction.   
      
   Third argument is the filename.   
      
   -c means that you want character output, ANSI format. Use -w if you want a   
   Unicode file.   
      
   -t; specifies the field delimiter.   
      
   -T specifies Windows authentication. Use -U and -P for SQL authentication.   
      
   Note that BCP must be installed on the client machine. If this is not   
   feasible, the simplest may be to just get the recordset and format it in   
   ADO. There is an API for bulk copy, but it's ODBC, and not accessible   
   directly from VB6.
