Bulk load error File Could Not Be Opened

  • Trying to run a bulk load:

    INSERT INTO ICE_ContractPriceLimit(ReinsuranceYear,

    RecordTypeCode,

    CommodityYear,

    CommodityCode,

    InsurancePlanCode,

    StateCode,

    CountyCode,

    SubCountyCode,

    TypeCode,

    SELECT ReinsuranceYear,

    FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'D:\Bulk Insert\APP-12286.txt', FORMATFILE='D:\Bulk Insert\APP-12286FileFormat.txt') AS t1;

    And I'm getting the following error:

    Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 12

    Cannot bulk load because the file "D:\Bulk Insert\APP-12286.txt" could not be opened. Operating system error code 3(The system cannot find the path specified.).

    I'm just running it from a Query Windows in Management Studio and the path is on the local machine. Any thoughts on where I am going wrong?

  • Is the file path local to the client, or the server?


  • Ah I see I am trying to use a local path and run it from the server...thanks

  • I recommend ALWAYS using UNC paths.
