(odbc) multiple step ole db generated error - date/timestamp column

when importing from oracle 10g, i get "multiple step ole db generated
error". i narrowed this down to a date/timestamp column - actually to
about 100 rows within that column, all = '01-JAN-01' (never null).

there is another date/timestamp column that gets imported error-free,
and other tables also get imported fine, so i am stumped?

query log not very helpful. using 8.1 with navicat.

Importing how? CSV dump and load? DB link of some sort?

Operating system and version? Oracle version?

i get "multiple step ole db generated
error".

From what program ? Where?

odbc (see email) specifically Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle

Operating system and version? Oracle version?

windows 2k3
oracle 10g (see email)
postgresql 8.1 (see email)

i get "multiple step ole db generated

navicat (see email)

again, i narrowed this down to a date/timestamp column that gets
imported ok if imported as varchar. there is another date/timestamp
column that gets imported error-free, and other tables also get
imported ok. based on my narrowing-down, it appears less likely error
is at os/odbc/postgresql/oracle level but more likely at
database/table/column/row level (esp since all problem rows =
'01-JAN-01' (never null) but that could be a false-alarm).
