I have noticed that if I use a SELECT-SQL like:

SELECT * FROM TABLE , I get the result pretty fast. When ever I complicate things as in:
SELECT * FROM TABLE ;
WHERE BETWEEN(DATE,DATE1,DATE2) AND INLIST(TRANCODE,'26','27') ;
INTO TABLE2

Things slow down to a point wher you think it is never going to get the data I requested. all of the tables of the tables are out on the network server. I have noticed that sometimes it makesa difference if I bring the results tabel over on the users PC. Any way to get around this problem? I have indexes on the tables for that items I usally ask for. I read somewhere once that you can open and order the table ahead o time and it helps the SQL do it's thing. IS this true?
