| I am importing an Excel file into SQL Server 2000. I receive the following error:"Error string: Data for source column 4 ('Product Long Description') is too large for the specified buffer size." Yes, source column 4 is a very large column and I tried to increase the destination column in SQL to Varchar(8000) and Text but nothing works. Any suggestions would appreciated.Thanks,Julie |

| How are you doing the import?==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |

| A stored procedure is calling the DTS package. The DTS package is executes. (and it does import some rows to other tables correctly). |
