Hi, cool findings. Me got the same kinda probs. Error as follows :- -------------------------------------------------------- * Error 0xc020901c: Data Flow Task: There was an error with output column "TI" (15) on output "Excel Source Output" (9). The column status returned was: "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) * Error 0xc020902a: Data Flow Task: The "output column "TI" (15)" failed because truncation occurred, and the truncation row disposition on "output column "TI" (15)" specifies failure on truncation. A truncation error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) * Error 0xc0047038: Data Flow Task: The PrimeOutput method on component "Source - Sheet1$" (1) returned error code 0xC020902A. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) --------------------------------------------------------- any suggestion of the ideal number of columns to be increased? Suppose to key in 0 and 16 rite? Really appreciate your kind attention. thxs

Just set the registry key value to 0 so that it scans for all columns.

Thank u very much I hav tried a lot of things to overcome this problem at last I managed to import data from excel by configuring error output for SSIS package (see ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.VSIPCC.v80/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/extran9/html/53d7eeea-927d-4b45-8ea9-084e65ad5390.htm) But the best solution is describes in this topic and ut works Thanks

sorry but this solution don't work at all.....

Very helpful... thank you.

Thanks Steven, it saved a lot of time researching on the solution.

I've got the same error-message but I will import into sql from a csv-file, not excel. If I change the registry key from 8 to 0 it doesn't work... Any ideas?
