I have data in a Excel and am saving as txt file. NO MATTER what format of the date I chose in Excel, it fails to import. I am using the Import/Export Wizard from flat file. I am changing the Data Type in the properties of the data source (tried date [DT_DATE and database date [DT_DBDATE] but it fails. I've even changed the date format in Excel to YYYY-MM-DD but it fails. The destination fields are setup as bDate:smalldatetime.
I have been trying to import for 2 hours and could have manually inputted all this data manually. Error is invalid data format.

Try using datetime as the destination data type, rather than smalldatetime.
