Hi Naomi
Good idea. Found a sample @ news2news, will check if that does it
Thanks

>>Hi all
>>I have a web service that generates a very big xml string, compresses it using zlib, then runs strconv( compressed, 13 ) to transform it to a base64 string that can go back through the wire. It worked great for a few months now, but today i started receiving error 1073741571 in the strconv() line. Googling this error number gives some clues about "stack overflow" but nothing more.
>>When i run the same code line by line, with the same data, in the command window, it works ok. Is there some setting i could set in the web service, maybe giving it more memory?
