appling DTS custom transformation to replication problem (Urgent)

Hi all,
In my production environment, there is a source database that replicates
data to another server (using transactional replication).
Because of some upgrade needs, I need to change the subscriber database to
store Unicode. As a result, I want to customize the replication such that our
Big5 data in source database can be converted to UNICODE automatically during
replication.
Firstly, I want to know whether applying DTS custom transformation in
replication can solve my problem. Is there any better methods?
In addition, how can I configure DTS custom transforamtion.?
I have tried using Define Transformation of Published Data Wizard but error
occurs at the step of adding task of creating the DTS package. The error is
"SQL Server Enterprise Manager cannot complete this operation".
I also try to use DTS designer to create the package. But I cannot select
the package created bt DTS designer when I create a transformable
subscription.
Please help me
Thanks

Hi all,
Let me make the question be more specific.
I just follow this document to configure the DTS custom transformation
replication.
But error occurs after step 11 of the part Define a DTS Package for the
Transformation
The error is:
SQL Server Enterprise Manager could not complete this operation
Both the publisher and subscripter is at the same server but different
database
The server is SQL Server 2000 service pack 4
Please help me. I really need your professional help
This is very urgent
Thanks
