I am having some issues on SQL Server 2005 Express on Windows Vista. I installed SQL Server using SQL Authentication. I'm logged in as the sa account via a c# program. I attempt to run a BULK INSERT using a file that I have generated via code in the user's temp folder. When it attempts to run I receive the following error code:



SQLException: Cannot bulk load because the file ... could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied).



I run the exact same code on SQL Server 2008 installed with Windows Authentication and it runs just fine.



Is there something special I need to do to "map" the sa SQL account to use the current user's temp folder for BULK INSERT?



Sorry if this is a silly question. I've been searching the net for hours to find a solution. Yet I have not found anything up to this point.



Thanks,

Michael McDonald
