hello Fred

look in the msdn help at:

DeviceIoControl (kernel32.dll)
- FSCTL_SET_COMPRESSION

and

"Compact: Compresses and Uncompresses NTFS Files and Folders"

(i have vfp 6, so i don't know if those helps are the same in vfp8)

hope that helps.



>Can anybody tell me how you would create an XP compressed folder from within VFP?
