Hi, Jason:

This is a desktop app with FB embedded, Local connection. The table is being
queried for all records--41,000. There is a UDF (decryption) as part of the
query which definitely slows things down.

Is there something about this scenario which could be causing this? Its really
important for this search routine of my encrypted table that I have a progress
meter.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Chuck Belanger
