Hi,
I have a Microsoft Notepad flate file with data and Vertical Bar as column delimiter.
I get following message: cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types
It seems it is my nvarchar(max) that creates my problem.

On Windows 7, dir or tree can't show unicode characters, even starting cmd with cmd /U
