I have a question for you, if you don't mind. What (drivers) do you use to access Sybase from VFP? I've posted this question previously but no one has come up with a solution.

While I'm here, 70 seconds is WAY too long to open forms in VFP. If I were a user, I'd be complaining. I have a formset with 10 forms (incl one pageframe with 12 pages) and it takes about 5 seconds (est.) with only a Pentium 100 machine, including some queries and indexing. Is it the Sybase access that's so slow?

I ask this because I will need to access a Sybase DB from one form in my system (if I can ever get a working driver).
