I am trying to used Access 2003 to access data from a table with more than
255 fields. I need a field in the 310th field. Can the 255 field limit be
"tricked". If not, please suggest a software option
 
If the data is in MS SQL Server, you can write a view with an assortment
of fields (less than 256) and use that as the source "Table" for a query.

Obviously the records are not in a table in Access Jet.

I believe that I've linked to tables in external sources that have more than
255 fields, then written queries that picked specific fields by name.
Obviously the query must have fewer than 256 fields.
