Like I said, I have recompiled complex apps and seen them run faster, I just haven't been able to quantify why yet (this is not occupying huge amounts of my time).

Test string manipulation of 5 verses 6. VFP 6 is supposed to be hundreds of times faster. I also learned something from George Goley's session at TechEd, relative to string manipulation. Instead of scanning through a table and doing
lcstring=lcstring+thisfield, let Fox do it's thing with copy to .... It is so much faster, it's off the scale.
