The text (around 15,000 characters) is properly stored in in MS Access Memo fields.
When I run the DTS it truncates the field, probably to 255 characters.

The error message I get is "Data for source column 7 (col) is too large for the specified buffer size".

I found up the same message in MS KB that applies to excel OLE DB provider and they provide a fix via registry modification.

Any idea?
Really appreciate your time
