Mike,

I work with a program that was written in FP-DOS.
All queries and filters work fast and dependable from command window.
But inside the form with grids and queries it works very slow.
I`m going to rewrite this form and to use inside it cursors(created with Select-SQL)instead of filters. Hope, it`ll work for large tables.

You might try some basic tests from VFP command window to confirm that essentially equivalent operations (e.g. queries and browses) have the kind of performance you'd expect. Once you establish that the kinds of queries involved in your form are capable of performing adequately outside of the form, then you can return to working on the form. Isolating and resolving the problem in this way may be easier than going straight to the form.
