I had the same setup a while back.
A few suggestions.
* Add a date/changed field in Foxpro and update.
* If only recent records are updated, only copy those over
* Add a "changed" flag in Foxpro tables
* Load entire foxpro tables every time and do a delete/reload withing a
single transaction.
The idea situation is if you can somehow segreate your older, non changeable
data, and copy every day only records that are recent.. even if they have
not changed.
What type of system is this? In particular do any record can be modified or
are only recent records changed?
