| I am importing a table from Access 2003 into SQL 2000. One column is causing a small issue I cannot seem to solve. In Access, this is a number field, and is 4 characters long and some entries have leading zeros, which display in the Access table. After performing the import DTS, the field in SQL has dropped any leading zeros. I have designated this field to be a varchar type of 4 characters.How can I keep the leading zeros from Access...or force the imported field in SQL to be 4 digits WITH leading zeros?Thanks to anyone... |

| Sorry, but I guess I do not understand how this is a part of a DTS package running daily. Is there something in the data transformation I am missing? |
