>Use VFP 9. This is one of the areas where performance has improved in VFP 9. When I last tested, I couldn't see a difference between 8 and 9 on a medium-size table (about 75,000 records), but selecting the top 20 out of a million took about 1/3 the time in VFP 9 as in VFP 8.

I don't know if I will see the same improvement in speed since I am calling the query from ASP.NET using OleDb driver. I don't know if VFP 9 OleDb driver has changed since VFP 8.
Thank you for the suggestion.
