group:importing space delimited text file
sql server dts:
i've been trying to import a text file which has multiple space delimited column to a SQL server 2000. i can't seem to find any answer on this subject. i tried typing space on the delimiter field, but i get "error source: microsoft data transformation services flat file rowset provider error description: invalid delimited data: text qualifier must be followed by a column delimiter(except the last column). context: error calling openrowset on the provider" could anyone help?
Are you sure that you are not referring to 'fixed width' fields?

yes i'm sure.
i need to use delimited because the width of the columns are not fixed for every column. they are delimited by space. [quoted text, click to view] Arnie Rowland wrote:

Hello jesbuddy07,
What does your file look like I have a file that looks like A B C D I typed a space as the column delimiters and it worked.
