David,
The column/field quantity limit will likely depend on the database you are
using. If 255 is not enough, I would take a look at the "normalization"
rules and see if you could redesign your table to reduce the number of
columns. I have never built or seen a table with more than roughly 50
columns. Any good database book and probably the documentation will have
information on normalization. Hope this helps.

Hello,

I've written an import/export program using the data control. When I try to
import/export to a file with more than 255 fields to a table I get an error.
Is 255 a built-in limit for a table? I don't want to be chasing phantoms. If
it's not a built in limit, can anyone point me in the right direction to
solve my problem?

Thank you.
