You cannot work with such table in VFP. VFP table/cursor is limited to 255 fields (254 if any of them support NULLs).

The issue is that I'd like the record locking/updating to be handled natively within SQL 2005, and as some of the tables have a large number of fields, the idea of using the UpdatableFieldList seems very long-winded when you could have 400-500 fields in said table??!?!

VFP is only really used to tie the cursor fields to their respective fields on a form, and then call the update or revert procedure to save/discard any changes to the data.
