Answer by Scott Abrants

Where are you getting the source for the date data? Many times this happens when loading data from some type of text file (i.e. csv) because every element in those files are text by default. Without explicit conversion and checking for NULL values, values that cannot be converted, and other CAST or conversion issues on the way in you are dealing with a time bomb. When working with data elements from these types of sources I ALWAYS use a derived column task and explicitly convert the values and do my type checking there before allowing it to just flow to the pipeline as is.
