Sql Server 2008's Export Wizard to Access db converts all varchar fields to memo. How can I change this so it exports it as text? In the SQL Export Wiz, on the "Select Source Table and Views" , I clicked the "Edit Mappings..." button next to the table that contains a varchar and ensured the field datatype selected is varchar. Not sure why this is happening.

Similiar issue is happening when I try to export datetime variable to access. It appears the datetime gets converted to text even though I selected datetime datatype from the 'Select Source Table and Views' edit window?

Any suggestions why this is happening and how to correct?

Thanks for your time in advance.
