sql server dts : Exporting data into a text file

Ok I have a problem with column names in my destination text file.
There seems to be a restriction on total length of column name
characters and I'm not talking about maximum characters per column
either.

e.g. Say I ha three columns - "col1,col2,col3" = 14 characters long

If Column Names property value (Disconnected Edit...) has more than
244 characters then the Destination Tab (Transform Data Task Property)
is empty and I alway get an error when I try to define columns from
the source.

I realise I can just abbreviate the column names to keep the total
under 244, but I thought there might be another way.

If this is what you are running into, you can download MS03-031 from the
Microsoft web site and get the fix for this problem.
