>Hi there. We’ve got a program on our work, which have been written on foxpro2.5 for windows. It’s file-server. Dbf are on Nt Server. Now on our work another programmer told that it’s to bad. That, when, we open table fox buffer all records from local machine to server. And net work very hard.Please help.
The other programmer is entirely wrong. There are circumstances where the entire content of a file will have to be copied from the file server to the local workstation, for example:
USE MyFile
COPY TO YourFile
However, the USE statement does not cause the entire content of the file to be copied; unless some operation calls for the content of the file to be copied locally, it won't be. The "other programmer" needs to rent a clue if this is the exact context of his statement, that VFP's USE statement forces all data to be copied locally.
