*ID CusNam

1 ABC

2 DEF*

For testing, I would just copy to VFP directly as a table to see if THAT writes out correctly. Then you can copy it out from there.. Are you using the view designer and connection, or manually controlling via something like

nHandle = SQLConnect( "YourConnectionStringInfo" )
SQLExec( nHandle, "Select * from YourSQLTable", "IntoLocalVFPCursor" )
select IntoLocalVFPCursor
COPY TO PermanentLocalVFPTable
USE PermanentLocalVFPTable
BROWSE
SQLDisconnect( nHandle )

In all the years of VFP / SQL, I don't ever recall any such data loss. However, when doing a dump to Excel, there is a limit of records to 65535... the max of older Excel file format capacity which was never extended since.
