i have an external data source that has well beyond the 255 field limit. i
need to capture only the fields at the END of the table. how can i get
access to them? i can create my own table from this data but cant see any
fields beyond the 255.

Can yoy create a view in the backend and limit the fields you want to
see to that view?

i cannot find any information on how to do this - please advise.

You'll have to go to the backend (=external datasource) to do this. And
it depends on the type of database that you're getting the data from.
Ask your DBA (database administrator) if it is possible to get this
view.
 
i am all there is here. multiple hats. this is an aix table using
transoft odbc off an risc6000. i have no idea how to tell it to 'connect to
the backend only'. never heard of this. please elaborate.
