>Is there a way (other than trial and error) to determine which column/field is the problem? There are over 120 columns in this particular view, although only 3 are memo fields (which *must* translate to varchar). Thanks for the input.

There's no easy way that I know of. If you open the view in the designer, on the fields page there's a Properties button which will show you the properties for the field selected in the listbox on the left.

The only other course of action would be to systematically remove columns until the problem stops.
