You can use a MS command line util for this (cabarc.exe or makecab.exe) or a freeware tool like CabPack 1.4, but did you know that Internet Explorer comes with a GUI wizard-type wrapper for CabArc called IExpress? Just type iexpress at the Run entry in the Start menu. When finished, it offers to save your settings as a "sed" file so you easily can repeat a packing session. /gustav >>> cfoust at infostatsystems.com 25-08-2005 17:20 >>> Does anyone know what the logic is for blocking zip files? I run into this occasionally and it drives me nuts! You zip files to avoid the filters that won't accept an mdb, etc., and then you run into filters that won't accept the zip files. Oops, Catch-22. That drumming you hear is my head pounding against the wall ....
