<< 

It appears the forms in this DB are stored uncompressed, but compression
is set on. It could be a different setting here and at the client site.
What is the default? What are the advantages/disadvantages to form
compression?

>> 

 

Compressed is better because it loads faster and because the form code
cannot be read by anyone.  The only disadvantage is that sometimes it's
convenient to be able to edit the form's underlying definition directly
(for instance, when updating 7.1 forms to 7.6, I like to go in and
change all the list boxes to list views without have to redefine them in
the form editor.

 

Whether an individual form is compressed or not is determined by the
setting of Use Forms Compression when you save the form.  If I want to
"uncompress" a form, I set forms compression off, edit the form, wiggle
a control, and save it.  Then, when I'm done, I turn compression off and
do the same to compress it again.
