Hi Nadya,
In cases like that I usually try to split the query into multiple steps
First, I would run query like follows and see how much faster it gets

SELECT TranMstr.PropID, oJC.CurState as State, Date, Mortgage, Source, ;
ParentCode as Lender, extrWeek, extrYear ;
FROM TranMstr ;
where between date ctod('01/01/2001')and ctod('06/30/2001') and between Mortgage 1 and ,1000000000 INTO CURSOR Step01

If it really speads up things than I'would join the rest of tables with this cursor or try some other combinations.
