Is that normal ?

I use Win98, MSDE, Visual Foxpro 7.0. I work with remote views in my application. After creating the connection, and a simple view to specific table on MSDE, the connection to the sql-server is fast. But when developing and testing the application, each time when a view is opened, the "opening" time of the view is a little bit slower (approx. 3 to 5 seconds).

If I delete the connection and rebuild the connection, the "opening" time of the view is fast again.

What can be possible reason for that ?

Bye,
