Hello all,

I am seeking tips and/or sample code on how to use a compression add-on .DLL such as DynaZip or Xceed to compress the contents of a memo field. I can perform this task by using STRTOFILE(memo_field,lcfile), ZIPping the file, and then using FILETOSTR() to copy the file contents to the memo field. But, I would like to implement a more elegent and speedy solution that does not write to disk. The app would be reading the memo from one table and writing the compressed memo to another.

BTW, I would like to use a DLL interface to avoid having to register the components on client PCs (the client views the registry as sacred ground...).

Thanks.
