Error connecting to datasource using bulk load

I am trying to use xml bulk load in a .net environment using vb.net. The fi
rst issue I ran into was not being able to do a bulk load in a multi-threade
d environment. So I now have initiated a new thread prior to trying to exec
ute the bulk load. I am consistenly getting an unable to connect to data so
urce error. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I may be doing incorrectly
? The connection string is the same one I use in other places without any i
ssues.
Private Sub BulkLoadXML()
Dim bulkload As New Thread(New ThreadStart(AddressOf ExecuteBulkCall
))
bulkload.ApartmentState = ApartmentState.STA
bulkload.Start()
bulkload.Join()
End Sub
Private Sub ExecuteBulkCall()
Dim _bulkInstance As New SQLXMLBulkLoad3Class
_bulkInstance.ConnectionString = _strConn
_bulkInstance.ErrorLogFile = "c:\temp\xmlerror.log"
_bulkInstance.KeepIdentity = False
_bulkInstance.Execute("c:\SampleSchema.xsd", "c:\SampleXMLData.xml")
End SubWhat does the connection string look like? When you say it worked in other
places - what places are those?

Microsoft Corp|||thanks for getting back to me. I am able to connect to the database elsewhe
re in the application to call stored procedures and retrieve the data to dis
play. This is the only place within the application that I am unable to conn
ect. I suspect it has to do with the fact that I am calling within a single
thread. Here is the connect string:
"Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=IOC;User ID=sg2user;password=sg2user"|||Try setting the Provider=sqloledb value in the connection string. Here's an
example from our docs of Bulkload in .NET:
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
SQLXMLBULKLOADLib.SQLXMLBulkLoad3Class objBL = new
SQLXMLBULKLOADLib.SQLXMLBulkLoad3Class();
objBL.ConnectionString =
" Provider=sqloledb;server=server;database
=databaseName;integrated
security=SSPI";
objBL.ErrorLogFile = "error.xml";
objBL.KeepIdentity = false;
objBL.Execute ("schema.xml","data.xml");
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
}
}
