The CompressData property determines whether or not compression will be used when communicating with the IDS. Since the IDS determines compression settings on the fly on a per-client basis, this property may be set either True or False at run time, even between record requests.

Since the VAccess control can be used to access IDS only over slower networks (using standard Btrieve requesters over a LAN), this property should be set to True most of the time.

The default value is True.
