Hi,

I have a DOS batch file. That runs on Application Server. There are text files on application server. Every night these files data inserted in sql server database that is on another server. I just migrated database server. After that Bulk Insert command which is in batch file on application server started failing. Now data is not inserted into sql database. Login which application uses to connect with sql server has bulk insert permission on server level and db owner on database level. I did not change any thing.

Here is the error:
"Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Server xxxx\abc, line 20
Cannot bulk load because the file \\application_server\data\abc.txt could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied)."

Any help will be appreciatd.

Thanks
