C:\Temp\PetSales.fmt could not be read. Operating system error code (null)

Question

I am trying to import some data from a text file into a table in my database. However i get the following error: "C:\\Temp\\PetSales.fmt could not be read. Operating system error code (null)" What does this mean? Im wondering is it because i have put 0 for the destination columns which i dont want to import into my table (Column 3, 5, 6)?

• Sales = My table
• PetDatabase = The name of my database holding queries, tables, etc.
• P1 = Is my text file with 14 columns
• PetSales.FMT = Is my notepad file which i have changed the extension to FMT.

My following SQL statement:

BULK INSERT Sales
FROM 'C:\Temp\P1.txt' 
WITH 
(FORMATFILE = 'C:\Temp\PetSales.FMT')

Format file:

10.0
