winzip not attaching correct No. files through fox

[hawkieboy]

Hi

I have a program that zaps and appends 4 tables once that has been done the program does the following code

!wzzip myzipfile table1.*

&& .dbf + .cdx

!wzzip myzipfile table2.*

&& .dbf + .cdx

!wzzip myzipfile1 table3.*

&& .dbf + .cdx

!wzzip myzipfile1 table4.*

&& .dbf + .cdx

!wzzip myzipfile1 database.*

&& .dbc + .dct + .dcx

so i am adding 4 files to each zip file + one zip file gets an extra 3 files for the database. The problem i am having is that the zip file does not always attach the correct amount of files(sometimes it does), and the problem is not always consistant by this I mean it is not always the same file that is not attached.

I am guessing that one of statements is still busy when it tries to execute the next line of code. If so could someone please explain to me how I can get round this.

Your help and advise is appreciated in advance

Many Thanks

Nick

A couple thoughts,

Do you by chance still have one of the tables open?
Can you use multiple file names on the command line?
Maybe put a small delay between them.
Maybe consider another zip application.

Winzip can attach multiple files on the same line...

!wzzip myzipfile1 table*.* database.*

You may also want to get on winzip's site and download the free command line add-on. then you can do everything you want in one command, such as

"C:\Program Files\Winzip\Wzzip.exe" -arP D:\BACKUPS\VFP6CODE.zip C:\VFP\*.PRG C:\VFP\*.DBF
