Try something like this… (I just used this technique for a similar query yesterday)

DECLARE @sql varchar(4000);
SET @sql = 'INSERT INTO provaxml (arquivo) SELECT CAST(BulkColumn AS XML) FROM OPENROWSET(BULK ''' + @nome + ''', SINGLE_BLOB) as arquivo';

EXEC( @sql );

I had this wrapped inside of a cursor (I know… I’m a bad boy for using a cursor. But I think that this was a good use of one) so that I could populate my variable with a different filename each iteration.
