I added a column named: THISISVERYLONGCOLUMNNAMETOTESTFOR (33 characters), using the view designer that comes with VFP 6.0 (SP4) I was able to create a remote view to the table. The value I posted above was obtained by issuing AFIELDS() against the cursor returned then copying the field name into the _CLIPTEXT system variable. As you can see, all 33 characters came through just fine.
