>Isn't it true that when a workstation looks at data in a FoxPro table on a VFP form, that the entire table comes down to the workstation physically, perhaps as a temp file that is recognized as the table? And, isn't it true that this causes the LAN's bandwidth to be high if the tables are large?

If VFP goes through all records in the table than it's true. If you run optimized query than only records that match query criteria will be transferred to the workstation.
