Zipping files programmatically??? 1

[GSMike]

Is there a way to do this?
So, a user clicks a button, and the command is issued for the computer to go to the designated file, zip it and copy it elsewhere (I can handle the "copy it elsewhere" part).
Thanking you in advance, Mike K

if you have pkzip.exe, you can Shell and run the pkzip

There is a free ocx out there is webbie land called VBZip_Control.ocx (just search for it in a search engine) which will allow you to zip and unzip files programmatically without having to rely on the user having a copy of winzip or pkzip. I am currently using it and it is fabulous. Ladyhawk.
