Tim,

>Yeah, I understand how to create an ado object and use the connections string with an ado connection. I just thought for some odd reason that FoxPro would have native support for the ole db provider.

It runs in crystal in about 30 seconds and about 2 mins in FoxPro. I'm not doing anything special I just "exec storedproc p1 p2 p3". I did find out if you do not use the "exec" command before the proc name that sql server will not release the resource until you close the connection.

You could try OLEDB library (file #10002), which provides OLEDB clones of ODBC SPT functions. But I'm not sure that you'll get a significant gain of performance. However, you'll have a chance to compare.
