Zipping files using VB - RESOLVED

[oobern]

I am creating a program to do my archiving on the first day of each month for the previous months data. I am wondering if it is possible using Visual Basic , to zip those files and move them to particular directories, without manually having to do each.
Can someone give me a hand as to where i would start. I am just confused on how to make VB zip a file. What references would i use?, etc. If possible can someone post a code snippet of how this may be done.

Thanks in advance
