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)

Answer 1

I was able to work around this by casting character fields as char(##) in the SQL and then changing the destination data types to varchar(##). The fields might need trimming before use, but the import works.
