Dynamic file name for file import
-

Question
I'm trying to figure out a way that I can pass a filename into a stored procedure that can import a file. However, after setting up the SQL dynamically, the object can't be found.
DECLARE @fileName varchar(200),
@sql varchar(max);
SET @fileName = 'C:\file.csv';
SET @sql = 'SELECT *
INTO #import
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK ''' + @fileName + ''',
FORMATFILE=''C:\format.xml'',
FIRSTROW = 2) AS a';
EXEC(@sql);
SELECT * INTO #stage
FROM #import;
The result
(27823 row(s) affected)
Msg 208, Level 16, State 0, Line 29
Invalid object name '#tmtImport'.
