Hi Guys, I am continually experiencing conversion problems in my SSIS pkg. I always get "cannot convert between unicode and non unicode string.". I have changed both source and destination to DT_String and varchar respectively. But I still get the msg. If I change the Source to Unicode and leave the destination DT_String I get a similar error.

How can I avoid this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Trudye

I'm sorry I kinda ask this question before. I guess what I really want to know is: is there a rule of thumb when assigning data types to the source/destination file that will prevent this headache.
