Using the SQL Server Import/Export wizard truncates the source column to 255 characters. I read an article that said to use the custom query option, but not sure how to write that to be honest. I tried using syntax from similar to a SQL statement but specifying the sheet name in the from clause, but that didnt work. Anyone have any ideas? this is on SQL Server 2008 x64 SP2, WIndows Server 2008. The import is done from my Windows 7 Enterprise laptop using SSMS, and Excel 2010 32-bit. I also read some things about uninstalling ALL Office 32bit products and installing the 64bit versions. I tried that, and it did not work. It actually caused me some major headaches on my system for a few days.
Any thoughts?
