>> I like your theory but unfortunately still doesn't help speed this up. According to SYS(3054) it is being optimised but even so still takes almost a minute to extract one record.<<
Fully or partially. Big difference. In an earlier message you noted the table is wide, over 200 columns. What about the number of tags on the table, lots? I have witnessed VFP slowing down with wide tables (lots of columns). One app I reviewed took minutes to update a single record with a fully optimized update statement. VFP also slows down with lots of index tags. VFP caches the indexes on the workstation where they are opened. If VFP spends a lot of time moving indexes around, the network is flooded and depending on the design, overwhelmed. Could this be your problem?
