Zip files with FormBuilder50

Hi,
I don't think forms has a built in zip functionality, try looking up the 'host' command in the on-line help. Of course doing this client server will require either all your clients have a standard zip executable, or (if running on Windows) you'll have to look in the registry for how they handle zip files. There is an example in the included demos of a package that looks at the registry to find a browser, this can be modified to find out how they handle zips. It requires an additional DLL whose name escapes me - but that should be enough to get you started (or further confused ;-) ).
Good luck,
Bob Bob Lowell
