zip access vba

[JoanaSantos]

Hi,

I want to zip some files in my folder.
i used this code:

'Compacta e Zip
Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" ( _
ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long _
)


Sub compactar_BD01()
Application.SetOption "Auto compact", True

'nome do zip / nome do ficheiro origem

Zip "G:\OrcControlo\SCC\Processo\Backups\00Custos_tabelas_gerais.zip", "G:\OrcControlo\SCC\Processo\00Custos_tabelas_gerais.mdb"
Zip "G:\OrcControlo\SCC\Processo\Backups\01Custos_SAN.zip", "G:\OrcControlo\SCC\Processo\01Custos_SAN.accdb"
Zip "G:\OrcControlo\SCC\Processo\Backups\03Custos_FH2.zip", "G:\OrcControlo\SCC\Processo\03Custos_FH2.mdb"
Zip "G:\OrcControlo\SCC\Processo\Backups\04Custos_FHC.zip", "G:\OrcControlo\SCC\Processo\04Custos_FHC.mdb"
Zip "G:\OrcControlo\SCC\Processo\Backups\05Custos_FHD.zip", "G:\OrcControlo\SCC\Processo\05Custos_FHD.mdb"
Zip "G:\OrcControlo\SCC\Processo\Backups\06Custos_FHP.zip", "G:\OrcControlo\SCC\Processo\06Custos_FHP.mdb"

End Sub

Public Sub Zip( _
ZipFile As String, _
InputFile As String _
)
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Dim FSO As Object 'Scripting.FileSystemObject
Dim oApp As Object 'Shell32.Shell
Dim oFld As Object 'Shell32.Folder
Dim oShl As Object 'WScript.Shell
Dim i As Long
Dim l As Long

Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If Not FSO.FileExists(ZipFile) Then
'Create empty ZIP file
FSO.CreateTextFile(ZipFile, True).Write _
"PK" & Chr(5) & Chr(6) & String(18, vbNullChar)
End If

Set oApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set oFld = oApp.Namespace(CVar(ZipFile))
i = oFld.items.Count
oFld.CopyHere (InputFile)

Set oShl = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

'Search for a Compressing dialog
Do While oShl.AppActivate("Compressing...") = False
If oFld.items.Count > i Then
'There's a file in the zip file now, but
'compressing may not be done just yet
Exit Do
End If
If l > 30 Then
'3 seconds has elapsed and no Compressing dialog
'The zip may have completed too quickly so exiting
Exit Do
End If
DoEvents
Sleep 100
l = l + 1
Loop

' Wait for compression to complete before exiting
Do While oShl.AppActivate("Compressing...") = True
DoEvents
Sleep 100
Loop

ExitProc:
On Error Resume Next
Set FSO = Nothing
Set oFld = Nothing
Set oApp = Nothing
Set oShl = Nothing
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
Select Case Err.Number
Case Else
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & _
": " & Err.Description, _
vbCritical, "Unexpected error"
End Select
Resume ExitProc
Resume
End Sub

You probably should ask this in the VBScript forum:

Ok thanks

zelgar: This code is VBA, not VBScript...

I can't answer the question. As I understand it, Microsoft do not support programmatic zipping and unzipping (and patent issues may have some bearing on the issue). I have had mixed success in the past, and generally consider anything that even partially works to be a bonus . Although I can't lay my hands on it at the moment, I have played around with code to do the compression directly but it's a lot of bit-twiddling and VBA is not the right language for it. There may be third party solutions that can be used - I'm not sure - but most, I suspect, will not work easily with VBA.

Enjoy,
Tony

After the OP posted it in the other forum, he was able to get a reply that I think answered his problem:

Sure it does. It just doesn't make it easy for VBA programmers. The first method - as per the basic example (and links) above uses the Shell and it's ability to handle simple zip files. A .NETs system.io.compression assembly handles zip fairly well, particularly the 4.5 libraries.
