HI I have to import data from one table to another.
All the column headings are the same so that makes it quite easy. However my import (using DTS) is failing because the "Notes" field in the source table is text datatype and the destination is image datatype.
I didn't know you coud store notes as image but apparently you can.

is there a way to do this?

If you have the chance then make the destination column a varchar(max) datatype.

And have a look here for the possibilities on converting

Unfortunately the destination table is part of an application so I cannot change it.
