Yep, just copy the dll to the windows / system dir and it is just found. John W.

Freebyte Zip is one exe at <300K. If you by "install" mean registering a dll, that is not needed - it just needs to be copied to some place where your app can find it. But wouldn't that be same for John's dll? It is not always needed to copy them to the system folder and do a registration. I have no module for FBZip - guess you hardly need it, the command line is pretty simple as you would expect. One limition I've found is that it doesn't respect relative paths like ..\parentdir\filetozip.mdb you have to specify full paths like d:\somedir\parentdir\filetozip.mdb /gustav >>> reuben at gfconsultants.com 19-01-2005 23:13:15 >>> Gustav, I downloaded and installed that FTP software and your modules. They work perfectly. I have created a zip process using a class from John Colby, but it requires I install a dll on every users computer. Does the zip package you mention make installation (for me)simpler? And do you have a module to run it from within Access? I already have around 140 installs state wide and need to minimize the amount of work needed to add this Zip and FTP feature. I notice that the docs say that it does not need to be installed. I only ask because I would like to have all the info before digging too far. Thanks.

We also use Freebyte Zip for the same reasons - a progress window for the user to monitor: http://www.freebyte.com/fbzip /gustav -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
