[AccessD] Zip and send to web server

Reuben,

It sounds like you need the ZIP class as well.  I have never done
specifically what you are discussing, but I do hook the zip (and unzip)
classes into my framework and the FTP class as well.  Obviously using my
framework it becomes a few lines of code to do this.  It turns out you can
zip a file while users are in it, though if any changes are made in the
moments the zip is occurring you will get a damaged file.

Sorry for re-posting, but I wanted to add one thing.

Can this be done from within the app that the BE is connected to?  That
would be ideal as the user could then simply click a button in a given app
and that BE is zipped and sent to me.

Thanks.

I am interested in an app that an end user could have that would zip a
database and send it to my web server all in one step.

The user would browse to a file, select it, and this app would zip it.  And
in the zip process would include the clients name and current date in the
file name.

Anyone have something similar?  Or the pieces that I can throw together?
