Hi Ruben: I had a similar problem when odd characters included in the file name, in my case the character was being acquired from the current user's computer name. Just strip out any dashes or "~", before processing and the problem should go away.

It has worked flawlessly until now...the reason is that the file name that the zip file got saved to was not what it's supposed to be. I need help figuring out why the file name was incorrect. The data file (in this case) is named chrttable.mdb I append some data from the app to create a unique file name. The name ends up being chrttableAllenCounty01132006.zip The client's system produced a zip file named chrtta~1.zip Why is the name trucnated and changed to chrtta~1.zip? Thanks.
