Hi Darren,

It's possible that connecting to SQL Server in VFP takes most time. In the Query Analyzer connection is alread established. Try

s=seconds()
c=sqlconnect('sql')
?seconds()-s
s=seconds()
=sqlexec(c,'open_inventory 11222','temp')
?seconds()-s

>In VFP 8, if I simply:

>s=seconds()

>=sqlexec(c,'open_inventory 11222','temp')
>?seconds()-s

>it takes about 1.3 seconds to execute the stored procedure.
