Hi Jack,

I am inserting the values into a nvarchar(2000) column. All i am doing is, right click the database, select the import option, select the source and destination then do the import. I tried to follow your suggestions, but i couldn't figure out what exactly i have to do. i am completely new to SQL 2005 server. i am not using SQL SBID studio. Any other go?

Thanks

Priya
