    Upon running DTS manually to transfer data from Excel into SQL Server, I
    get the error:

    -----------------------------ERROR OUPTUT ------------------------------------
    Error at Source for Row number 264. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1. General error -2147217887 (80040E21).
    Data for source column 3 ('Value&#39 is too large for the specified buffer size.
    ---------------------------END ERROR OUTPUT----------------------------------

    *** 'Value' is varchar(4000); largest having length of 1000.
    *** The network packet size is 4096.

    ?? AM I SUPPOSED TO CHANGE THE BUFFER SIZE??

    Looks like - your are trying to insert a row in SQL whose field is smaller then the one in excel.
    you can go to row number 264 and have a look of it - maybe that answer your thing.

    You check the hard disk space and database size..

    No need to increase the buffer size.
