I am using MS Access(2000) as a front end to a MS SQL2000 DB. I set up a table link to one of the tables in the SQL server. The table I am linking to has 242 Fields in it. The table shows 21888 rows of data.

In Access, when I set the record source in a Form to this linked table and go to run (Form) view, I get a "Record to Large" error.

In the SQL table - there is one varchar field that is 17 in length. There are about 5 char fields and the rest are numeric or date.

My questions are:
What is causing this error?
What would be a good work around or other possible solutions?

Thanks.

Question -
1. I suspect it actually says "Record too large" ?
2. By 242 fields, do you mean 242 columns?

is this any use to you
