Tony writes "How can I transfer data from an excel spreadsheet into SQL2K without errors. I have tried DTS to transfer data that is only 800 words long per col (x2000 cols). All I get is: '...data is too large for the specified buffer size'.

The datatype used for this column is 'ntext'. I have also used 'text' and 'nvarchar' but to no avail - I kept getting the same message. I have also used a query to insert the said column - I only tried one row. But when I open the table to see if the text has been inserted, all I found in the column was .

What do you thing I am doing wrong? Can someone please help.

Best regards

Tony"
