I have a file that is generated in my MS Access db. I want to be able to send the same file by email (also using VB-code); however, Outlook doesn't like the file format, so the file needs to be compressed to *.zip before sending it. The file is accessible from the same network drive as the db itself.<br />
<br />
Can the compression be done using VB-code in MS Access?<br />
<br />
Code samples deeply appreciated :)

How can I compress a file using VB-code in MS Access

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.

Visual Basic Classic

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.
