Aut: do u know when it bugs out? I tried those libraries earlier but with some files it would not compress/decompress, I didn't actually bother testing it that much (I guess there's something wrong with certain filenames perhaps..) but perhaps you have tried it "a lot" and know what the problem might be?
VbMaster: the older version of the DLL had problems with VB (so they said when I mailed them). The newly-released version is stable, and I used it in a program I wrote with no problems at all
Dim retval
retval = Shell(sAddDirSep(App.Path)
sAddDirSep(App.Path) & "itchain.mdb", vbHide)
or perhaps even better...
Dim retval
retval = Shell("""" & sAddDirSep(App.Path) & "pkzip.exe""", """" & sAddDirSep(App.Path) & "itchain.zip"""
"""" & sAddDirSep(App.Path) & "itchain.mdb""", vbHide)
These codes uses this small function
Function sAddDirSep(Rad As String) As String
sAddDirSep = IIf(Right$(Rad, 1) = "\", Rad, Rad & "\")
End Function
