I get serveral files every day which are winziped and all arrive at a specified location. From that location, on my server, I must copy the files, normally between 5-30, and run them manually on my computer then copy them back into the same folder. After doing this process a couple times i got to thinking.

Is there anyway to copy these files with visual basic and then have VB run winzip, or parts of it, to uncompress the files then automatically copy them back into the folder?

any suggestions?

thanks in advance
