David,
You don't tell about anything where it fails. Anyway 2 things come to mind:
1) Substring(16,12). You are relying each line is at least 28 in length.
2) Within the Insert() the string you define doesn't have a closing parentheses. Your Insert() might be expecting like that but I suspect:

Insert("insert into icchek (upc,item) values ('"+upc.Trim()+"',test)");

If this is the reason I suggest you to use more readable String.Format. ie:

Insert( String.Format(
  "insert into icchek (upc,item) values ('{0}',test)",
  upc.Trim() ));
