A little trickier, but if you want to embed zip functionality in your program without requiring the user to purchase any additional software, check this out: http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/VB/Code/Libraries/Compression/Zipping_File s/article.asp And regardless of what you choose to do, register WinZip ;-) -----Original Message----- From: DWUTKA at marlow.com [mailto:DWUTKA at marlow.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 20, 2004 11:36 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: RE: [AccessD] Using WinZip With Access Winzip is only like $25. I had the same issue, and decided that spending the few bucks to get a registered copy of Winzip was a better 'deal' then wasting time trying to code around the unregistered limitation. Turns out there is a LOT more available in the registered version of Winzip too.

We are using an Evaluation copy of Winzip, if I set the focus of the Shell command below to vbMaximizedFocus: strCommand = "C:\Program Files\Winzip\Wzzip.exe " & wzFinal & " " & strShiftData & " " & strDownTime & vbCrLf wzFiles = Shell(strCommand, vbMaximizedFocus) A message appears in the window with press any key to continue, and if I press any key it works perfect. Is there anyway I can include the keypress into the Shell Command. If I can get this to work automatically then I should be able to convince the powers that be to invest in the fully registered version.
