bcp select where date between problem

The following works: bcp tkcsdb.DBO.VP_TOTALS out c:\tkcsdb.dat -n -Usa -Pabc123de and returns ~750k records. I'd like to limit the results by adding a date check against a field: SELECT * FROM DBO.VP_TOTALS WHERE ADJUSTEDAPPLYDATE between '12/16/2011' and '12/31/2011'; which returns ~1200 records when fed to DTS. I've tried dozens of variations using bcp and gotten only mixed error codes as a result. This is on Windows Server 2003 with MS SQL Server 80.

As @silent_worker has shown in the example, you need to use "queryout" option of the bcp to do that. You can see good examples in BOL e.g. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162802.aspx
