I wouldn't expect to see much of a difference especially since the QA uses ODBC. Are you using the same login for both the app and QA? What happens if you force the stored proc to recompile?

>We are executing a stored procedure from our VFP app using ODBC to connect to SQL Server 2000. We have discovered that one of the queries in the sp takes a significant amount of time to run when the sp is called from fox. When the sp is run in Query Analyzer, the one query that took a long time before now runs much faster (by an order of magnitude).
