Re: dynamically compressing export

Hi Bill, thanks for your response.

Yes we've got the same type of thing going on, dynamic compression. However the compression is corrupting the export file. I need to export it first, complete the export, and then compress it. What a pain in the a$$. I am going to have to split up my export into about 10-15 pieces, I think. Talk about messy.
