DTS: import large database

Importing data from an Access database, I cannot overcome the limit of 1,000 records.
In DTS, I "copy one or more tables", select tables, run, and cannot see my 1,052 entries.
Where can I set a max size of ~1,500 in my sql target base?There's a limit on what you can copy? By default, I have been able to transfer (even from Access) more than 100,000 records at a time. Heck, from other db's, I have been able to transfer MILLIONS of records by default.

A quick workaround would be to do an export to text (preferrably .csv) and import that into SQL. You can even do that through SQL, I think, by selecting your source as Access and your target as Text file through DTS.
