Thanks Billprew but I get an error stating a type mismatch. Am I supposed to include lines 3-6? It looks like its just a comment referencing the format.
What's the data type of LM_Key_to_Subledg ?

Varchar (255)
Yes, lines 3-6 were required, it's a small function used for left padding. Did you have that in place?
If so, try a test like this and see what it displays.

I copied exactly the code that you provided below:
DTSDestination("LM_Key_to_
' Left pad a string to any length with a specified character
Function LPad( strText, intLen, chrPad )
LPad = Right( String( intLen, chrPad ) & strText, intLen )
End Function
However I am getting a syntax error:
Error 1002 on Line 10, Column 0:
Function LPad(strText, intLen, chrPad )
Syntax error

' Left pad a string to any length with a specified character

However I am getting a syntax error:
