Hi Stephen, > I am getting at a list of States in shipping. Why would you keep hitting the table for the same non changing data 1500 times a day?
Because you don't in VFP. Tables that haven't changed are chached once you read them. All you end up is a 16 byte read request every 5 seconds which is way less than the 4 KB default size of the FileStream in .NET. -- Christof _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/4199ced1600047d689be76a6dd962...@fpl5 ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
