PROBLEM
Exporting a feature class or table on a computer in which the locale is set to something other than English fails in many cases.
ArcGIS uses the Microsoft ODBC Text File driver. The Microsoft ODBC Text File driver defaults to a comma as the delimiter. This conflicts with the locale's decimal delimiter, also a comma, and the create table fails.
[your_file.txt]
Format=TabDelimited
Note:
This must be done for each file to be exported. Search the Microsoft Website for 'schema.ini' for more information on the 'schema.ini' file.
