Hi Allan,

I recently replaced a vba routine that used MS SQL Server stored procedures with a vfp routine that downloaded the the MS SQL Server data and did the calculations using vfp tables. The original routine took over one hour and the new vfp routine takes less than 2 minutes. My clients were amazed.

Good luck with your new app.

>Thanks to the help of many of you here, I have been able to convince the powers that be in my place of employment that there is a place for VFP. I created a prototype of a 'current account reconciliation' application that does a VERY FAST reconciliation of our client's very lenghty Current Account statement (about 6000 records a month) to an extract of their General Ledger records. It went so well that I have been given the go ahead to develop the full-blown product with VFP.
