zip one file with winzip

I tried, Winzip says it doesn't support Command line parameters. Pkzip does though. Command lines to pkzip are told in the thread above.

This opens up the winzip program and creates
a xx.zip file but does anyone now the commands
to add a file to this zip file??



r = Shell("C:\winzip\winzip32.exe C:\xx\xxx.zip", vbMinimizedFocus)


thanks

Of course, Winzip can be loaded. But as I said, it won't accept command lines. See for yourself: go to Start > Run and type in Winzip /?. And it will tell you. Pkzip is your best bet or an active x control.

E-mail me at [email protected] and I'll send you a Control.
