Microsoft Access: Zipping files together

  • LIttle confused I think but im guessin that;

    you want to use accesss to copy a file into an existing=20 zip file.

    I think this may be possible in that access would likely=20 have a command to run an exe file. i.e. zip.exe

    And the zip program likely has some switches to allow you=20 to run the exe file without having to use the gui system.

    Here what my version of ZIP help says
    Note: at the time of this writing, the command line=20 support add-on has still not been officially released,=20 but a pre-release beta test version is available as a=20
    free download from the web page=20 [http://www.winzip.com/wzcline.cgi] The WinZip Command Line Support Add-On lets you use=20 WinZip's=AE power within batch files, macros, and other=20 situations where you have a specific task and would=20 prefer to accomplish it quickly or automatically, without=20 using the usual WinZip graphical user interface.
