I'm getting the error listed below. Column 11 of a text file contains the value '05360' which I'm trying to move to the column rebate_rate, which is a decimal with a precision of 5, scale of 3. How can it overflow? It should be a string of 5 to five digits.

Try typing "05360" into rebate_rate....using EM. See if you get the same problem.

Thanks, that worked. 05630 was also rejected. SQL Server is looking for the decimal point in the text file, ie. 05.360, not 05630.

I can fix that.
