The Sql table consists of about 20 fields from a VFP table, and an additional 10 fields, whcih are in effect lookup fiuelds to give descriptions from a series of VFP lookup tables.If I strip out the 'Lookup Code' bit, the update takes about 5 minutes, so I am fairly sure the bottleneck is in the way I am updating the descriptions, and womder if there is a quicker way to do this update.

I have the following code replicated 10 times for each of my lookup fields, within my main loop to update the main data

1. I set up an OleDbCommand with the connection string and a parameter for the lookup table

2. I then have a While Rdr.read loop to update a field with the description

Is there a quicker/better way to update these descripotions ?
