Hello BoostDriven,
   My first guess would be that the column you're inserting to is a char field.  In which case, you'll have to trim or truncate the data to fit in column.
    If that doesn't solutions don't solve the problem, please explain the context of this error message.  What is the datatype for the column you are inserting into?
   Also, how are you trying to upload data?  With individual insert statements?  From an Access query or table?  Using a data transformation service(DTS)?
   The best of luck to you.
