Hi terry,

The slowness of RVs, in my case at least, seem to have to do with getting the RV definition from the VFP database. If it is on a shared network used by several users, it going to delays stuff esspecially on 10Mbps and slower networks. The SQL command send to the SQL server is just as fast as doing SPT as far as I could see.

Therefore I decided a couple of years ago to include a database into the exe conaining the RVs. The same applies to local views as well. In one local view cases the time to do a requery() dropped from 3.2 seconds to 0.3 seconds.

Walter,
