Mike,

>Are there any examples of this?

Untested pseudo code ... runs in my browser :)

Note that you would want to use some logic so that you create each client's tables in a client specific folder or using a client specific naming convention. My example does not show this logic.

* build temp table(s) you want to send to client
select ... to table TBL_TABLE_1
select TBL_TABLE_1
use

select ... to table TBL_TABLE_2
select TBL_TABLE_2
use

* zip your tables using DLL, ActiveX or command line (used below)
!zip TBL.ZIP TBL_TABLE*.*

* return TBL.ZIP to client

Rick Strahl has a more elaborate example using a 3rd party compression component in his book VFP Internet Book (see www.henzenwerke.com for Rick's book). Rick may also have a similar example in his wwIpstuff product code found at www.west-wind.com.
