Remote views, as you've indicated, let you specify the target structure of the query.
When you execute direct SPT Fox attempts to get the first record matching the query, and uses the structure of that result as the (fixed column) structure of the result set. So, if you have a varying-length string (varchar) and the first result is 3 characters, VFP might create a C(3) field, which could truncate everything else. Does that describe what you are seeing?
