Hi Naomi,

I think, from looking at the MS Access target record, that the original width attempted was around 7320 bytes; the view was originally sized near that and failed. When the fat was removed from the various fields it worked fine. So maybe the size limit is much less than 8K? I'd love to know the exact answer also.
