DTS Transform

I get this error:

column 6 ('CheckDate', dbType_dbtimestamp), status 6: dat over flow
invalid character value for cast specification

Here is the sql generated :

CREATE TABLE [DMS].[dbo].[Master] (
[Date_Entered] smalldatetime NULL,
[Initials] nvarchar (10) NULL,
[VendorName] nvarchar (50) NULL,
[CheckNum] nvarchar (20) NULL,
[ExpenseType] nvarchar (10) NULL,
[CheckDate] smalldatetime NULL,
[CheckAmount] money NULL
)

IM guessing i need to change date_enteed type or do a cast

any help pls

!~<Mis there anybody who has any idea about this?|||Is this the table DTS is inserting into, or is it actually trying to create the table? If it's trying to insert, change the CheckDate to datetime instead of smalldatetime and see if that fixes it.|||smalldatetime to datetime will not make a difference if value in the source is not a date. I'd suggest to change CheckDate and possibly Dtae_Entered to varchar(25), but add 2 calculated fields that would convert a valid date to date or NULL if it's not. Put them at the end of the table and do not insert anything into them (it'll fail if you try).

CREATE TABLE [DMS].[dbo].[Master] (
[Date_Entered] varchar(25) NULL,
[Initials] nvarchar (10) NULL,
[VendorName] nvarchar (50) NULL,
[CheckNum] nvarchar (20) NULL,
[ExpenseType] nvarchar (10) NULL,
[CheckDate] varchar(25) NULL,
[CheckAmount] money NULL,
[Date_Entered_Calc] as case when isdate([Date_Entered])=1 then cast([Date_Entered] as datetime) else cast(null as datetime) end,
[CheckDate_Calc] as case when isdate([CheckDate])=1 then cast([CheckDate] as datetime) else cast(null as datetime) end
)
