<sigh> Steve, you still pushing your BS? No, VFP does not bring down the whole table. Unless of course you request the whole table (e.g. SELECT .... FROM ... WHERE 1 = 1). For all practical purposes doing a USE <table>.... does not bring down the whole table. The only exceptions I've seen to this is where the total table size was small. I can't remember what the cutoff was. Maybe 64k? Even then, since it's so small it's not really noticed. But my gigabyte-size tables open in blip of time over a 100Mbps network. -Charlie _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
