What I don't understand is why the form isn't redirecting the user to the next page once the CFX_Zip tag is done. Large reports getting zipped may take about 10 seconds but it seems to not recognize the form tag after a certain period of time. However with a small report which zips in less than 2 seconds it works fine.
