Default DTS Source Column Size Error - 01-28-2004 , 05:46 PM






I created a DTS package that produces this error when run:

"Data for source column 1 ('Text') is too large for the specified buffer size."

When I looked at the column within the Transformations tab, it has a datatype of varChar(255). I believe that the problem is that the data from the source column is too large for varChar(255). Is there a way to change the size of this buffer for the source column so that the data can be transferred?

Thanks!

You have not told us anything about the source datasource.

Is it Jet based?

The datasource is an excel spreadsheet. So it is Jet based
Any ideas
