I got the below error on executing the bulk insert..

Could not bulk insert because file 'mycomputername\\c:\test.txt' could not be opened. Operating system error code 123(The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.).


Executed Scripts:
bulk insert dbo.test from 'mycomputername\\c:\test.txt' with (FIELDTERMINATOR='|',ROWTERMINATOR = '')

Please correct me in above scripts...

As per my information, BULK INSERT requires UNC path for remote files. Is the path you specifying a valid UNC path? Shouldn't it be "mycomputername\\c$\\test.txt" ?
