I am trying to import information from an excel file to a SQL SERVER 7 database. The problem is that one of the fields has a length of longer than 255 characters. The file will not grab more than 255 characters from the excel field. How do i get around this problem.

thanks,
George

First Create the source table with the required length . then use DTS remember to use transform and map the columns.
