Is there a limit of how many items SQL server will use in an IN clause? Or maybe this is a VFP limit in terms of how long the string that I build up with the list of PKs can be?

BTW, forgot to mention that my colleague also ran into this same problem some time back (may be ~2 years ago). I forgot what was his solution.
