No I'm not talking about code.  I'm talking about writing an email, then
trying to attach a zip fiel to the email - manually.

You should have something like this check the str filter flags too see
http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm

Dim strFilter As String
Dim strInputFileName as string

strFilter = ahtAddFilterItem(strFilter, "Zip Files (*.zip)", "*.zip")
strInputFileName = ahtCommonFileOpenSave( _
                Filter:=strFilter, OpenFile:=True, _
                DialogTitle:="Please select an input file...", _
                Flags:=ahtOFN_HIDEREADONLY)
