I am letting the end-user select the file to be imported into the SQL via
the intranet. I am getting this error displayed.

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Bulk Insert: Unexpected
end-of-file (EOF) encountered in data file.

/loaddata/file.asp, line 15

Here is a copy of the asp file

response.write "the file is = "&x

mycmd.activeconnection = mycon

Set BudRS5 = mycmd.execute(,array(x))
budrs5.close
mycon.close
set mycon = nothing

Note that this is the ADO.NET newsgroup, not ADO you may have better luck in
an asp newsgroup This is not specifically an ADO problem, it is actually a
ASP problem.

Since you are using a web server, it is quite unlikely that the ASPNET user
that the web page is running as has access to the file path referenced by
request.form("filename").

You will probably need to upload the file to the web server (see Google,
search ASP FILE UPLOAD) and then once the file is uploaded, use a path that
is local to the web server for which the ASPNET user has access.
 
Off the top of my head there are a couple of possibilities:

A char(0) somewhere in the file. Use a streamreader, readall() and put into
a character array to find.

Or (more probable?):
No CR or LF at the end of the last line, which confuses the bulk loader.

Thanks for all the responses - here is my final script (that works)
I have 3 different files, Daily, Summaries and Branches which need loading
into three different tables.

I am sure there ia 'neater' way of achieving the result - but this way
works,

I was missing the DATAFILETYPE='char' and ROWTERMINATOR = '\n\N'.

Thanks again all

for each myfile in myfolder.files
x = myfile.name
if InStr(x,"Daily") > 0 then
response.write "Daily file loading ="&x&"<br>"
d = d+1
myrs.open "BULK INSERT TblDaily "&_
" FROM '"&myfolder&"\"&x&"' WITH (FIRSTROW=2,DATAFILETYPE = 'char',
FIELDTERMINATOR = '\,', ROWTERMINATOR = '\n\N');",mycon
end if

if InStr(x,"Summaries") > 0 then
response.write "Week file loading ="&x&"<br>"
s = s+1
myrs.open "BULK INSERT TblSummaries "&_
" FROM '"&myfolder&"\"&x&"' WITH (FIRSTROW=2,DATAFILETYPE = 'char',
FIELDTERMINATOR = '\,', ROWTERMINATOR = '\n\N');",mycon
end if

if InStr(x,"Branches") > 0 then
b = b+1
response.write "branch file loading ="&x&"<br>"
myrs.open "BULK INSERT TblBranch "&_
" FROM '"&myfolder&"\"&x&"' WITH (FIRSTROW=2,DATAFILETYPE = 'char',
FIELDTERMINATOR = '\,', ROWTERMINATOR = '\n\N');",mycon
end if

fs.MoveFile myfolder&"\"&x,"E:\NIPDATA\Loaded\"
