[dba-Tech] Attaching Zip Files in Outlook

WIndows will not treat zip files as folders so you will lose the capabilities discussed on this 
list in the thread "Hardware, Software and WetWare" on 16/17 Feb this year.   You will need 
a third party application such as WinZip, 7Zip, WinRAR etc to do anything with zip files. 

You also won't be able to use ShellApllication to manipulate Zip files programmatically in 
VBA (see my posting in dba-Access of 17 Feb  for an example)
