Cannot import Oracle data with OLE DB

I have a column in an Oracle source system with data type NUMBER(38,2). The value "-0.01" is causing problems when trying to import into a SSIS data-flow.

The only way I can import this into my data-flow is by using a Datareader connection manager using the ODBC Data Provider. My DSN is using the Oracle ODBC driver.

If I try and use the "Native OLE DB\Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle" I get an error: "The data value cannot be converted for reasons other than sign mismatch or data overflow"

Judging by this post: http://microsoftdw.blogspot.com/2005/11/final-storyhow-to-get-data-out-of.html there aren't really any other combinations to try that will bring my data in as I want it.

I don't want to use ODBC though as:

1. Its an old technology
2. Its slow
3. I have to deploy an additional DSN.

Can anyone tell me why the other options don't work Why does Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle have a problem with "-0.01"
