Source Type 200 in SQL Server Import and Export Wizard?

Question

I am trying to import data from one database in a server to a new table in a different server, using SQL Server import and Export Wizard. (SQL Server Management Studio 2012)

With a bit of experimentation this error only seems to occur when you have a query as the source. The accepted answer did not work for me as copying to a flat file would result in the same error.

To solve this I put my query into a View then selected Copy From one or more Tables Or Views instead of Write a query....

I went through the wizard normally after that and my data went through with no error
