    VB isn't capable of doing such stuff on its own - you must use some library and the one from vbAccelerator comes very handy (also full source is available). So, if you don't like it then you pretty much on your own.

    Err... don't push out such lies so easily. VB can do it very well (like about any other programming language out there), nobody just haven't bothered to do it since there are already-made solutions available.

    inventrex: the easiest solution is just to use external DLL. Can't really rely that a user has Windows XP or WinZip (I use IZarc and have disabled WinXP's own ZIP functionality in my other computer).

    I don't really like, Merri, the way you express yourself so next time watch it.
    Anyway, there were plenty of attempts in VB but non of them succeeded - whould that mean anything to you at all ???
