>>I have a utility that zips thousands of memo field data. I am using Dynazip, but it requires it to first write the memo field to a table, then zip it to a zip file, and finally read the zip file to a string to save back to the memo field. The process takes forever. I think if I create a RAM drive for the temporary file it would greatly improve the speed.

There were some supporting/wrapping classes, and maybe it was fed via Stream, but I think it was from memory. Have you checked ALL of the dynazip possibilities (dll and activeX) for different format of feeding ?

I will look more closely to the actual DLL and the VCX wrapper class.

But I solved my speed issue.

Thanks to all.
