I've noticed when using Access, if I need to "kill" a running query all I need to do is press the + keys and the query stops almost instantly. However, when I need to kill a VFP remote connection view/query, it sometimes takes forever for VFP to release the query. I have ESC set ON so that's not the problem. In both examples, Accesss vs. VFP, both are connected to the same MS SQL back-end. It appears that Access is much more efficient in communicating with SQL to release the connection than VFP. Am I missing something? Has anyone written a PRG or utility that caused a remote view connection to "die" instantly when requested?

Thanks,
