sql server (alternate) : Bulk Insert Command

I am trying to use the 'Bulk Insert' command to load a data file into a
MS-SQL db. The line I am using is:

Bulk Insert SVC_Details From "C:\XFILE.TXT" With (FieldTerminator = ',')

I have tried the file name with " around it and with ' around it and both
the " and ', but every time the Query Analyzer comes back with the following
error:

---Begin Error Msg---
Server: Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Could not bulk insert because file ''C:\XFILE.TXT'' could not be opened.
Operating system error code 123(The filename, directory name, or volume
label syntax is incorrect.).
---End Msg---

I am not sure what is wrong with this line. Can any one tell me what is
wrong?

Do not use " but use ' and be sure that the file is there

i have uset this query

bulk insert tlf.dbo.bruger_data from 'C:\TEKST.txt'
with
(
FIRSTROW = 1,
FIELDTERMINATOR = '";"',
ROWTERMINATOR = '"\n'
)
