Dan,

>I need to be able to gauge the performance of a SQL the first time it is issued. FoxPro cached the result and even if I quit out of FoxPro, I still get the cached result.

Another option, which is possibly less time consuming, is to open the same files on another workstation and make some changes to it. Your workstation is then forced to drop the read buffers kept due to the Exclusive oplockmechanism.
