<DIV><SPAN class=086031710-18062003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have linked DBF
files into my AXP, importing does not work, with more than 255
fields.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=086031710-18062003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I need to cross

<DIV><SPAN class=086031710-18062003><FONT face=Arial size=2>But I can acces
these tables from VBA (tried DAO and ADODB recordset) with a SELECT *
statement due to these +255 fields problem.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=086031710-18062003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I could use
"SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3" etc but you understand this is some typ
work.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=086031710-18062003><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there an SQL
statement that I could use?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=086031710-18062003><FONT face=Arial size=2>Something that
allows me to select fields 1 to 250 and afterwards fields

<DIV><SPAN class=086031710-18062003><FONT face=Arial size=2>Or can numericly
