I don't believe that would pertain my string is only 195 characters. This is another intersting KB, 834699. It suggest using "`", the single back quote for field names. Take a look at this:

{DATABASE  \d "O:\\Finacct\\Source\\Directory\\Data\\memodata.dbf"
\c "DSN=FoxPro Table;UID=;PWD=;
SourceDB=O:\\Finacct\\Source\\Directory\\Data;
SourceType=DBF;Exclusive=No;BackgroundFetch=No;Collate=MACHINE;
Null=Yes;Deleted=Yes;" 
\s "SELECT nproperty as '. Property Number .', descrip as '.                             Description                             .', amt as '.    Cost    .', serialno as '.  Serial Number  .' 
FROM memodata.dbf ORDER BY `nproperty`" \l "2" \b "63" \h}

Pretty simple but I get "Error! Cannot open data source." The as name has spaces to create the field width needed.
