>Has anyone compared Visual FoxExpress and Visual ProMatrix? We have ruled out FoxExpress due to speed issues (terribly slow, even with local data), but we're not sure if we should even consider ProMatrix. If it has the same magnitude of object-oriented design, I imagine the speed issues will persist. Any comments?

Mere Mortals dos a much a faster job in forms and data. You will have to do more work as a developer. That's the difference between a RAD tool {VFE & VPM}and a framework.

I am opening up views of 30K reocrds, haveing it indexed 2 ways, with supporting paramatered sub views, 5 of them, in about 2 seconds. That data is on one server and the code for fetching it, views and dbc, are on a separate one.

Im running a 200mz pc on a 100mb network. My norton benchmark gives me a 7.2 value for my data server and a 6.5 for my application server.

There are many techniques available under Mere Mortals to spped things up. Check it out @ www.oakleafsd.com
