Although XP has the ability to READ zip files and display them like they were directories, I don't beleive it has the ability to create them. There are a number of open source librarys like this one[^] that provide some zip creation support. Anger is the most impotent of passions. It effects nothing it goes about, and hurts the one who is possessed by it more than the one against whom it is directed. Carl Sandburg

That makes a compressed NTFS folder, not a zip file.... Anger is the most impotent of passions. It effects nothing it goes about, and hurts the one who is possessed by it more than the one against whom it is directed. Carl Sandburg

Is this information incorrect then? http://www.windowsnetworking.com/kbase/WindowsTips/WindowsXP/UserTips/Miscellaneous/CompressedZippedversusCompressionFoldersinXP.html The article says that MSFT has used code based on WinZip7.

Wont work. All you need to do is create a new Text file on the Desktop or where ever you need in the file system, then rename it with a .ZIP extension. You can then drag and drop all the files you want into the new .ZIP. I don't know how to get this to work in code though. For backward compatibility with Windows 2000/NT, you might want to try the #ziplib[^]. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

My Bad! You appear to be correct. so the answer to the original request is....? Anger is the most impotent of passions. It effects nothing it goes about, and hurts the one who is possessed by it more than the one against whom it is directed. Carl Sandburg
