I believe an .xlsx file is basically a ZIP file. So creating an .xlsx means Greg's tool is creating a ZIP.

If you have a process that works at all customers except one, chances are it's something in that environment causing the issue, The customer should be willing to do some testing to address it, maybe in a sandboxed environment. Send their sysadmin a bottle of vodka :)

You may have a workaround for now but there's no guarantee it will work in the future

>I am using Greg Green's VFP tool that converts a cursor to an Excel. As far as I know it does not ZIP anything; just converts a cursor to the Excel.
>I can't disable AV because this happens on the customer server. And it happens with one specific customer.
>However, if split the cursor into 4 smaller ones ( about 1000 records) the conversion to XLSX goes without a problem. And resulting 4 small Excel files are fine.
