Hi Victor,
VFP's SOUNDEX() is a native function - that means it's implemented in C(++), which in turn means that it's quite quick.
It should be fast enough for your requirements. You could even index on the SOUNDEX of the search field if you really wanted to.
Cheers,
Andrew

If we were to introduce Visual FoxBase+, would we be able to work from the dotNet Prompt?
