    The problem lies here 

    Application.StartupPath + "D:\Tax Rouding Projects\10-12-12 TaxRoundingUtility\TaxRoundingUtility\Scripts\GP_SOP_AdjustTax.sql"

    This might end up giving you something like

    “c:\program files\myappfolder\D:\Tax Rouding Projects\10-12-12
    TaxRoundingUtility\TaxRoundingUtility\Scripts\GP_SOP_AdjustTax.sql”

    which is an invalid path. Append only portion of path that you need like (the second part is just an example)

    Application.StartupPath + @"\TaxRoundingUtility\Scripts\GP_SOP_AdjustTax.sql".

    Also make sure to escape the ‘\’ in your file path strings.

    Edit: As Dante has mentioned in the comment in the question, If your target path is fixed and known, you do not need the Application.StartppPath. Just load/read the file for which you have the complete path.
