SYMPTOMS
When you open a table that has more than 255 columns in an Access project, you receive the following error messages, and then the table does not open:
Too many columns defined in a rowset
Microsoft Access can't open the table in datasheet view.
Views and stored procedures that return more than 255 columns exhibit the same behavior.
CAUSEMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. RESOLUTION
Create a SQL Server view that displays fewer than 255 fields from the original table, and then use the view to browse and update your data.
