• Fortunately I had some sample files from previuos uploads and had to have the DT_DECIMAL, DT_STR and DT_DATE InputColumnWidths agree with the actual file column widths on the "Advanced" page under the the "Flat File Connection Manager Editor". Everything worked after that. I used UltraEdit to open up the text file and count the column widths of the file. I had to manage the columns in SSIS because the output required a <CR><LF> at the end of each row. I found it easier to define the column widths and then after the last row, send a ColumnDelimiter of {CR}{LF}. Someone may know of an easier way but this worked and after four days of hacking, I was just glad I got this to work.

    That solved my problem and I hope this helps.
