Hi Ken,

Could you or one of the V.F.P team members please enlighten us all to the potential accuracies (or inaccuracies) in the "Future as a FoxPro Developer" thread, specifically the comments being made by John Petersen and Kevin Lawrence; Re: Future as a FoxPro Developer Thread #918302 Message #923443.

1. The V.F.P OLE DB Provider has the potential to be faster than the same thing in a plain vanilla V.F.P Exe.

This strikes me as being extremely unlikely - unless the code is substantially different (which makes no sense - surely it is a subset), or the OLE DB Provider is running in the context of a process on the remote server (i.e. on the same machine as the data).

2. C#'s (and VB.Net) runtime optimizations and caching is sufficiently superior to V.F.P's caching that this is something we should all be cognizant of.
