it takes a while(a long while) to move from VFP tabels to sql server
the easiest way is run your VFP on termianl server or cirtix.
It runs and its very fast as long as the mashines are powerfull and have a lot of memory. I citrx you can eaven use a cluster of maschines easyly.
we do this with some locations over DSL
no prolblem
dirk
you can get a fre citrix for testing from there webside
