I have to write at least 5-times as much code as I did in VFP

Yes - that is by design. and it was inherited behavior from VB 6 - takes as much code there too to get to data in VB.NET, ASP.NET and ANYTHING dot net-able. It's a sad sad sign that no matter how efficient I make my code - I must run it on mondo FAST processors. However - my speed tests with record retrieval and insert with C# vs VB.NET are meaningful to me - perhaps you should go to C# and forget about VB.NET for a while?
>It's so sloooooow, what takes 15 seconds in Fox, takes over a minute in VB.Net - which will mainly be due to using the OLE DB provider, which I can understand, but still, it is rather a dip in performance

O O - have u tried a record insert or record update yet?? You think you've lost hair recently to 'get' the data - now lose some more watching it 'put' the data back to the data store.
