                                            | Hi I have a stored procedure which imports from a csv file and saves to a temporary table. The procedure runs fine when I run "exec myProc" but when I put the same "exec myProc" into a SQL Agent job I get an error.Executed as user: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE. Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)"I have also tried running job as a windows user who is member of local administrators group. I get same error except the user name is different in error message.The folder containing the file is a shared folder and the local user and network service user have full permissions on the folder and on the share. I've tried two different methods Bulk Insert and openrowset.I have also removed the saving to temp table where I just read the first few lines of the csv file but still get same error.Here is the way I read from csv file:CREATE TABLE #MyTemp                  (                  ID int, Field1 nvarchar(5) , etc          )   BULK                  INSERT #MyTemp                   FROM 'C:\folder1\MyFile.csv'                  WITH                  (                  FIRSTROW =2,                  FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',                  ROWTERMINATOR = '\n'                                )     ---------------------------               INSERT INTO #MyTemp select *from openrowset('MSDASQL','Driver={Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv)}','select  * from  C:\folder1\MyFile.csv   '      ) |  |

                                          | Hi, yes the folder is local to the server. The path is C:\myFolder where "myFolder" is windows folder name and the share name. As I mentioned above executing the procedure works but not from within agent |
