I am getting the following error message:

(Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Data Pump (8004202b): TransformCopy 'DTSTransformation__3' conversion error: Conversion invalid for datatypes on column pair 1 (source column 'Actual_Payment_Date' (DBTYPE_WSTR), destination column 'actual_payment_date' (DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP)).)
Step Error code: 8004206A
Step Error Help File:sqldts80.hlp
Step Error Help Context ID:0

I am pulling dates formatted with mm-dd-yyyy in from an excel spreadsheet into sql 2000 table with datetime field. I'm not sure why it would work one week but not the other. I figured it has to be an issue with the formatting- any ideas?
