[FX.php List] Choking on data returned

I was already using it for paginating, but it doesn't really matter what I set it to, it still fails...

Here's something else I'm seeing now, as I work on this:

I have a SEARCH function, and when I put in a date range (like 5/1/2012...6/1/2012), I return 129 records, and these too fail to display.

So this makes me wonder if there are just too many fields in his database and it's choking FX.

I have about 150 fields or so on his web layout (I didn't design this database...); my question is this:

I assume that when I return data, the only fields that are returned are those on the web layout, is that right? Most of these fields are empty on almost every record, and the few that have data contain only a half-dozen characters at most.

SO... having said that, what is choking this?

Would an ampersand in a field cause it?
