Hi all, I am getting the following when trying to import text coloums from execl to SQL server 2005. Any ideas?

Error at Data Flow Task [Destination] Coloums "blar" and "Blar_name" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode sting types.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Dave

I think its due to incompatble data types. Can you try CASTing the source columns to correspond to destination columns data type?
