>I use the synchronous option so I have an error trap on error #1541 and give the user a choice to retry or cancel the query. The only time I got this error was when I change the number of records to retrieve for my dummy view to 1 instead of all. This surprised the heck out of me becasue the table only had 1 record.

Remote views are async by default, you change them to sync with sqlsetprop(), you use a shared connection so do just set this once on your dummy table?
