My problem relates to the SIZE of a file for GPRS transmission.
Ideally the smaller the file is, the less the cost of transmission.
I currently transmit excel files, which are approx 100k in size.
In text format they distill to 2k.
I was wondering if there was a preferred compression method eg, XML whic hmay reduce the size significantly.
With HTML I use the post method which only sends identified data - I would love to be able to do something similar to this withour having to hardcode all the translations using VB.
Appreciate any ideas please
