>Gino: I don't know what and how you're measuring, but it has been my experience that, in some cases, Jet approaches Fox speed but in most cases Fox waxes it's butt.

Just the record, I was measuring the turn-around times for a relational query; not the total time it takes to load all records into memory. In other words, the time the user has to wait before he/she can resume using the application. In most cases, this is more important than actual total query time.
