>My problem is this, the data is on a NT 4 box and I have 2 do queries/subtract info out of this table. I'v tried SELECT but that was realy very, very slow. Then I used the SET FILTER. A lot better, but far to slow.

Willie,

I have large tables ( 1.6M records / 800 Meg ) that are part of a DBC and run on NT and have no SQL performance problems. If you haven't already optimized your query with the SQL Showplan, sys(3054), you may want to try that. It will show you any potential bottlenecks.
