>BTW My first large statement print took 8 hours using SQL syntax, a friend showed me how to use SEEK and SCAN REST WHILE, the print run dropped to 10 minutes. Bet you can't do that in SQL Server!

Properly indexed on a reasonable machine, you can probably do it faster in SQL server. I've proven that point many times when converting VFP data to SQL data. The only exception is if you are doing a lot of text manipulating in the process - VFP may handle that better depending on the situation.
