Do you mean something like NTFS file compression?

No, I need to commpress many files into a file. Like ZIP do it !!!
But I don't want to run Command to run pkzip or things like that, and mainly, I want to retreive success or error code to know if the compression (or decompression) was right.

In that case you might want to investigate CABINET.DLL, which you should find in your Windows system folder. The SDK is available as a download from Microsoft:

Be warned, it isn't completely VB-friendly...
