This is counterintuitive, but in the USE statement, the CONNSTRING clause can take the handle as a parameter. Just keep one central handle in your app and pass it to each view when opening.

However, I got no clue how would that work with whichever upsizing wizard you may be using. It may be using the same thing internally.

And yes, you can create a view, open it with buffering 5, append to it, and then issue a tableupdate() for all records - and then wait while Fox does the groundwork for you. It will take some time, too, but not as much as it would when sending one record at a time.
