First, can you try creating the Windows registry entry described in the
following article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290981/en-us
(I don't know whether it's relevant in this situation, and you may need to
choose a different code page from the one mentioned in there).
If that doesn't work, there's only one way I know to do this, and it can
only work for data sources with 255 columns or fewer. You'll find a
description in my post in the following conversation:
