bcp won't install

Question

Hello,I just got a new laptop and am I running Office 365.&nbsp; I installed SQL Server Management Studio V18.4 on my laptop.&nbsp; However, I no longer have the bcp utility.&nbsp;I have searched the internet in trying to successfully install bcp and have not been successful.&nbsp; I hope you can assist me in getting the bulk copy program installed on my laptop.Thank you.

Hi&nbsp;Vinita_P&nbsp;,&nbsp;I checked out the bcp.exe and found it’s not a part of SSMS. That file is bounded SQL server installation thus you can find it under &lt;...\SQL Server\Client SDK\ODBC\130\Tools\Binn\.If bcp.exe on your side is under that folder but cannot work, could you re-copy it or just post the error message you get in this stream?&nbsp;

Hi Vinita_P --
It sounds as though you are missing the Command Line Utilities.&nbsp; These can be downloaded from the link below.&nbsp; Hope that helps.
