I have a database that imports data from an Excel spreadsheet by right clicking the database in Object Explorer and selecting Task > Import Data. I've run into a problem with a particular spreadsheet in which the user has written War and Peace in one of the cells, but it seems that all of the fields in the created tables are varchar(255). Is there any way to control the size of the fields created?
