What do you get when you issue the following from the Command Window:

? DBGetProp('MyRemoteView', 'View', 'FetchSize')
? DBGetProp('MyRemoteView', 'View', 'MaxRecords')

If they are not -1, try setting these properties to -1 and see if that helps.

? DBSetProp('MyRemoteView', 'View', 'FetchSize', -1)
? DBSetProp('MyRemoteView', 'View', 'MaxRecords', -1)
