Default Query that feeds the report

You can't get more than 255 fields in a report.

You can get 255 in a report and another 255 in a sub-report.

You will have to figure out how to bind the sub-report to the main

report.

And, you may need to figure also how to further group the information so it
can be understood and used by mere humans. 255 different fields is a lot of
information to get one's head around, much less even more fields.

You might benefit from reviewing some books on presenting data -- "Seeing
Data" by Rebecca Riordan is a good one, and the principles put forth in
Microsoft's books on the Windows Interface are useful, though if I recall
correctly, they deal with on-screen viewing, not on-paper viewing (as is
intended by a report, though you may only ever view it on-screen in Preview
mode).
