WINZIP Macro

[ddrew]

On my database I have a button for 'Save to Floppy Disk'.
The database is now to big to put on a floppy so I want to Zip it. How would I build a Macro to lets say, Open Winzip automatically zip it then auto save to floppy. Any help appreciated

You'll probably need the Winzip command line support add-on: http://www.winzip.com/other.htm

Using this add on, the ShellWait module from Dev Ashish's site (http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0004.htm), and the FileCopy statement you can zip up files and move them to different storage media.

Hope this helps,
