Bob,
>When the DELoader loads the views does Fox do a query and get the structure of the view for loading (assuming nodata on load is set to .T.)? So if the dataenvironment class contains five or six or however many views Fox queries each view to gather information about each during the process.>
Even though you're only loading the structure of the view, there is a slight performance hit. If you use the new distributed architecture features of version 6.1, it alleviates this problem by creating blank structures from cached XML schemas rather than getting the info from the database.
