I've seen this problem as well. As best I can tell, Windows job scheduler bites. In my case, I was able to reduce the effect to an acceptable level by using gzip1 for the compression level instead of the default gzip6. Luckily, the extra space required was not a problem. I don't know if there's a feature request out for this, but maybe I should create one. It would be nice if the FD could be programmed with a delay loop during the compression process, configurable by the user. It's difficult to say whether this would actually meet the goal or not, though. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
