I am using the SQL 2005 management studio to import a table from an access
database to a SQl Server 2000. It's giving an error on an access column that
is a memo field type and can't convert the memo to a varchar on sql 2000 and
gives the unicode error.
Since the instalation of the SQL 2005 management studio the Enterprise
manager stopped working and it's giveing about 100 errors (dlls probably
missing) so I need some urgent help because I need to upload the data!
Can someone help me please.
Thanks

Hi,

For the time being use the SQL Server 2000 import and export wizard to load
the data. In SQL 2000 use the Text data type for memo in access..

Thanks

Thanks for answering me back BUT If you read my post you will see that the
Enterprise Manager stops working after installing the SQL 2005 management
studio so at the moment I cannot do this!

Change the type of the column that you are importing to.  Make it NTEXT.

See if that helps...

I can't chage it because there's an existing app running and we need a memo
field in the access db because we need to store large text.

Dont change it in access. Change it on the SQL table that you are importing
the data to.  Change it from Varchar to Ntext.
