I am a VFP7 user. I have a database with approx 50,000 records.
The "posted" field has the month/year that each transaction was posted (to the acctg ledger).

At the end of this month, I will issue the command:

REPLACE ALL posted WITH 'JUL02' FOR EMPTY(posted)

Wow! is it slow. Can anyone help me optimize the operation?

Thanks, Randy
