John, how difficult would it be to just use those two pieces from your framework and fit them into my app? You asked about FTP. I don't care how it's done, FTP or email. Once the files are zipped they will usually fit into an email, but I could see that becoming an issue in the future as some db's are approaching 25 megs now. So ideally it would FTP to my web server. Zipping and FTP'ing from within the app would be perfect. You mentioned a damaged file from changes made during the zip - is that a damaged zip file or damaged mdb? Thanks.

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. John W.

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.

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?
