Hi Peter, 1) a) Why not zip the data? b) Using Craig Boyds connection FLL, you can send a request and be able to download the data as a zip file. You can either have this on a Web server or in a C# service which hosts a Web API. This will avoid the non-static ip addresses. 2) After you add the new line, to get the edit box to scroll, set the SELSTART property to the LEN(EDITBOX.VALUE). -- Tracy Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
