i am Hemanth
i have written a query for bulk insert , it is of

BULK INSERT
DTSTEST..FBM
FROM 'c:\FBM1.TXT'

WITH
(
BATCHSIZE = 100000,
CHECK_CONSTRAINTS,
DATAFILETYPE = 'char',
KEEPIDENTITY,
KEEPNULLS,
ROWTERMINATOR = '\n',
FIELDTERMINATOR = '|'
)

Cannot bulk load. The file "c:\FBM1.TXT" does not exist."

the PATH is on the Server not your local. Is the file on the Server's C drive ?
