[AccessD] Unzip Files

Brett,

Thanks for the shortcut...I was able to get to the link from home.

What I'm actually searching for is a way to use the 'uncompress or extract' 
feature that is part of Windows XP.  I found the 'expand' command line...but 
it only seems to work for .cab files, not .zip.  Unless I got the syntax 
wrong...it only copies the .zip files.

I've searched the web and found the same question asked over and over 
again...but no answers.

Any ideas of a command line or api or something to utilize this 'unzip' 
function built into Windows XP without any additional software?

Thanks,

Mark A. Matte
