I am using the SQLEXEC() to select all records from a Btrieve table into a cursor. The speed at which it runs is not acceptable. 45sec - 1.5 min. to load the cursor over a Novell 3.12 network. The syntax used is: lnHandle =SQLSTRINGCONNECT('DRIVER={Pervasive Software ODBC-32}; DDFPATH=G:\Macola\data;') lnResults=SQLEXEC(lnHandle, SELECT FROM ARVENFIL','vendors') Any ideas on who to speed this up or a faster approach.
