I need to test from VB if an especific word is the correct password for a zip file... How can I do this?

I did what it says, I add the 2 files
cUnzip.cls
mUnzip.bas

Then add this line in the form
Private WithEvents m_cUnzip As cUnzip

and with a command I put this code
m_cUnzip.ZipFile = sFIle

' Set the base folder to unzip to:
m_cUnzip.UnzipFolder = sFolder

' Unzip the file!
m_cUnzip.Unzip

But I get error 91

Can you try to do this? or recommend me other way to do this?
Can it be because I'm using XP?

The problem is that if the first time you send the incorrect password the something happend that even if later you send it correctly you still get the error of incorrect password... Please try it send an incorrect password then try with the correct one

wcoka,
Sorry for the delay in responding, I got VERY busy.

The dll seems to have someting in it to skip a file if you give three bad passwords, I think you need to close the zip and reopen it after three failed attempts.
