I'll look into it more. I did use DTS transformations when I imported which
I do not know a whole lot about.... I'll keep looking into it.


Thanks!

Look into the DTS ( data transformation service ) of SQl Server.
Try the import wizard ( found on the toolbar ) to import the data
from access. I don't have SQL Server in front of me but I believe
there should be an option to 'transform' on import.

  Dave,

  When I import the table form access I can not get the zeros to remain in
  tact in the zipcode field no matter if I use char or varchar.
  Do you know a solution I could look into?

  Thanks,

  Mike

  varchar... you can always cast in the future.
  I use varchar for both zip and phone numbers.

    I am trying to determine the best way to store a zip code in a SQL
Server
  2K
    DB. Some zip codes begin with one or more zeros, so what is the best way
  to
    store them? In access I make the field of type "Number" and set the
Format
    to 00000. Is there something equivalent in SQL Server?

    Thanks,

    Mike
