Seeking Help to Reduce .dsx File Size in ActiveReports 2.0

[Minseop Kim]

Hello everyone,

I am currently developing an application using VB6 and have encountered an issue with the .dsx file size in ActiveReports 2.0. The file has grown significantly larger than expected.

Upon examining the contents of the .dsx file, I noticed that sections such as DataSpace/Storage/MSCompressed/SpanInfo, AssociativeLinks/BTree, and DataSpace/Storage/MSCompressed/Transform/List are repeated multiple times, which seems to be contributing to the increased file size.

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to reduce the size of the .dsx file. Additionally, I will be attaching a reference file for your review.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Fortunately, I found the solution. After searching for several days, I wrote a post here and soon found the answer. VBForum really has a good influence somehow. The answer is that if the hyperlink property is set to 'y' for each label, textbox, etc., the size increases significantly. It seems that various properties are applied to include the hyperlink function. I'm leaving this answer for anyone who might need it. Thank you.
