No reason that I know of. Try it like this:

BULK INSERT Temporal FROM C:\Archivo.TXT

I believe the file name needs to be in quotes, folks.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
