I found the problem!

The Connector was set to asynchronous. Unchecking it allowed the removal of the timeouts and picked up the speed without producing barcodes.

Thank you to all who made suggestions on this very vexing problem. I hope this experience is useful to someone else.

I had posted:

– Remote views return ASCII 0’s that look like barcodes in place of ½ of
the data

When running large jobs for many hours using VFP-VFP and VFP-SQL Server 6.5
using remote views, the data that comes back in a cursor of eight or so
fields by six rows has one row of numbers and five rows of barcodes.

I have tried deliberately slowing the process.

This has eliminated this problem at a cost of processing speed
