am trying to import data from an ODBC source using the Datareader but have come accross a problem, can anyone help?

Whenever I try to do a 'SELECT * FROM sometable' I get the following error:

Error at Data Flow Task [DTS.Pipeline]: The output column "notes" (521) has a length that is not valid. The length must be betewwn 0 and 4000



Most of the tables we require have this field.

Is there any way to by pass this error and import the field as DT_WSTR type and convert to DT_NTEXT?

Our original DTS package (2000) worked well but we would like to move forward.



Thanks in advance.
