>I have a parametertized view with six fields and one where condition, and nothing else. It takes about .5 seconds to requery() it. Is that normal?

I've just been timing my code, and I have a fairly simple local view of 12 fields, 2 parameters in Where, and it takes about .012 seconds each requery from a fairly small table, small result set, with indexes on Where fields, not much longer without indexes. So there's very little overhead in a Requery() command itself. Slowness may result from lack of index on Where field, large result set, network overhead, perhaps, in your case...also, index on deleted can slow it down.
