I'm using DTS to import from Access. The SQL tables do not allow nulls. How to I prepare the Access fields so they will import even when they don't contain data?

Thank you

1. Did u try using a query?
2. If the problem is the Null in Access different from that in MS SQL Server, did u try ISNULL()function.
eg. Select ISNULL(a,Null), ISNULL(b,Null) from Tbl

I've tried using this in the DTS wizard query
isnull(`Company`.`vchAssignedId`, ' ' )
and this way isnull(`Company`.`vchAssignedId`,null )
I get error "Wrong number of arguments" error. What am I doing wrong?

Instead of Isnull use COALESCE
