You need to use a parameterised query once you go to C/S. You don't want to download all 125,000 records.
I recommend you replace your VFP code with a SQL statement -
update mytable set x=y where z
Then time that. You'll be surprised.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
