I have found that if I remove the TOP 100 clause that this helps. Basically, I get results within a second or up to three seconds. When I have this clause, it can take between 20 and 100 seconds. So, basically, I have removed it from the six locations where it was before in the code.

However, with OPTION (RECOMPILE), the result was instant. I also tried with other searches and it is always as VFP was doing it.

I also found that with OPTION (RECOMPILE), queries that were running before without the TOP 100 clause, which were running ok, are also faster.

What does it do exactly? Should I include that in all my SQL exec command?
