How to zip the file and send mail?

[snehakevin]

I am using the following code to send documents through mails.....

MAPISession1.LogonUI = True
MAPISession1.SignOn
MAPMess.SessionID = MAPISession1.SessionID
MAPMess.Compose
MAPMess.RecipAddress = "mailid@xxxxx.com"
MAPMess.ResolveName
MAPMess.MsgSubject = "Testing Email"
MAPMess.MsgNoteText = "message in the body"
MAPMess.AttachmentPathName = "filename to be sent"
MAPMess.Send False
MAPISession1.SignOff

This works fine but I need to zip the file and attach.
How to do this? Please help

Use a third party object for zipping the file. There are many avalable...

I have not done this before. What references are you setting and how do you instantiate them in your example?

Thanks!

Have a great day!

I've not bothered zipping stuff before either, but I know there are dlls out there for doing the job...

Try looking at

http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/V...es/Info-ZIP_Zip_DLL_(Renmaed_vbzip11_dll).asp

I don't know if there's any documentation for it, but the Object Browser might perhaps be of some use...

I've done this before with Java. Java's got a pretty straight forward zip package under java.util. Then I just execute the java DOS Command from my VB app. The problem however (there always seem to be a problem with my stuff;> )
is that you need the JRE installed on a PC where you want to run this.

Let me know if you might be intrested in the Java code.

Sorry I wasn't clear. My question about instantiation had to do with snehakevin's first post.
