Did you use the CALL syntax when making that comparison? Its alot faster than EXECUTE when running stored procedures.

Someone by the name of Beth Massi, I think, did some comparison testing on this. She has a web site where she posted the results. Saw it in another news group. Sorry, don't have the address.

Even if ADO was faster at returning a recordset from a stored procedure, VFP is more flexible. Its OOP framework extends to data and ADO doesn't. This is exactly why I prefer SPT.
