Bruno,

Is there a reason that the query has to be so complex? Running that in VFP may actually cause the SELECT to be slower than breaking it up into multiple statements. VFP will only join 2 tables at a time, and each intermediate join will not be Rushmore optimized. For more information, see the Rushmore KB article on my web site.
