>>Hi,

>>A customer who is doing beta testing of my application reported a big time slow down every time data is retrieved from the VFP. I believe that the only difference (as far as getting data) is that I added the following code to my function EXEC_SQL_COMMAND() that executes SQL Select. I added this code in order to make sure that the SQL Select opens the right tables in the correct directory:

>> *-- Change directory to the DATA folder defined in the preferences.
>> SET DEFAULT TO (cDataDir)

>>Can the above code cause considerable slow down? Interesting thought that when I connect to their server via Remote Desktop and run the application I don't get delay at all.

What do you mean by "disconnected" drive?
