[AccessD] ZIpping Files

I guess where Max is coming from is if you have 1.5 GB database zipped to 80 mb or similar. that wouldn't be so email friendly :)

but I love the zip code, great stuff. thanks for sharing that as in most cases it will be very useful.

cheers

Well, that's the reason for zipping it, isn't it.  In one case, a 40 MB
accdb file zips down to about 10 MB.  In another, a 6 MB mdb zips down to
850 KB.  Not too bad.  I often find it easier to replicate a problem if I
have the client's data.

Regards
Steve
