After a migration of databases to a new 2014 server with default collation Latin1_General_CI_AS, but where most of the databases have a collation of Latin1_General_BIN, an attempt to import an Excel spreadsheet is throwing the following error:

I've tracked sysdac_instances down to msdb where it is a system view and querying it directly gives the same error. I'm hoping someone will be able to point me in the direction of a straighforward-ish solution to this problem?

Curiously though, running the import via SSMS 2008 works.

Gordon.
