Of course, you have to code them properly, so that the results of query 1 go into a temp SQL server table that query 2 can use and so on, until the final query's result set is sent back to the client.

>Or maybe I can send them all and just sit back and wait for the result set(s)?

Actually, sending them all in one batch would be more efficient.

Of, as I said, option 3 is making your four VFP queries into a single T-SQL query.
