Once it opens, look for the service with the name SQL Server and double click it. Navigate to the tab labeled Log On and note down the username listed therein – this is the set of credentials used by SQL Server. Even though the general cause of this error is the lack of SQL Server access to the backup folder/ path, this may in turn be caused by the following scenarios (with resolutions for each scenario): Unknown drive letter. You may have specified your path to back up to as Z:MypathBackups, where Z: is a drive mapped to a UNC network path. Your SQL Server may be unaware of this mapping. To resolve this, it is better to always specify a full UNC path in SQL Server instead of using mapped drives. So for example Z:MypathBackups should be altered to \Remote_SvrC MypathBackups. The account you specified for your SQL Server service really doesn’t have write permissions on the specified folder or part of it. Check these permissions on the target folder. Right-click the folder and check in the Security tab that the SQL Server service account has explicit permissions to both re

Reason: 15105) up vote -1 down vote favorite I tried the following code to try and bulk load into a table in my SQL Server. BULK INSERT dbo.CentralRepository_Associate_Details FROM '/1CAAP/1413/data/csvtest1.csv' WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = ';') and got the following error : Cannot bulk load because the file "/1CAAP/1413/data/csvtest1.csv" could not be opened. Operating system error code 3(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105). I guess error code 3 is a permission operating system error error. Just a request: I'm not very good as far as stuff like this is concerned.

First of all the path should be as Ilya explained in windows path format i.e C:\Files\FileName.CSV and you are also missing the ROWTERMINATOR clause of your bulk insert. –M.Ali Jun 5 '14 at 8:51 Hi Thanks, I need to run the file from the server. So is there anyway I can do it using bulk insert? or is there another alternative to do the same. –user3455309 Jun 5 '14 at 9:25 Is this file located on your network share? If this is the case you can still use the UNC Path \\ServerName\Folder\FileName.CSV , Just make use Your login has permissions on that Network Share. and correct your synatx for bulk insert, as you are missing ROWTERMINATOR clause of your bulk insert statement. –M.Ali Jun 5 '14 at 9:31 Hi, My login does have permission and will look into the row terminator clause.

I actually have several backup files of the same database (taken at different times in the past). The newest ones are restored without any problems; however, one of them gives the following error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Directory lookup for the file "C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT SQL SERVER\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\MYDB_ABC.MDF" failed with the operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.). (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended) This is a x64 machine, and my database file(s) are in this location: c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL. I do not understand why it tries to restore on MSSQL.1 and not MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER. sql-server database exception-handling restore sql-server-2012 share|improve this question edited May 24 '12 at 17:15 marc_s 454k938711033 asked May 24 '12 at 16:11 Marius Bancila 11.3k62970 3 This has nothing to do with version problems.

So, I guess, there is a connection. –Marius Bancila May 25 '12 at 6:47 @MariusBancila: the system used belongs into the tags - not the title - that's what the tags are for. Path and table names etc. should be put between back quotes to make them stand out as such (bold isn't optimal for that). I was just trying to make your question look more like a well formatted question - but OK
