Default Enquiry for Ron de Bruin

Hi Ron

Many thanks for your help with unzipping a file with VBA. I now how 2
problems with zipping. I'm using your "Sub Zip_All_Files_in_Folder()"
routine to zip a file to a zip which already contains a copy of the file.

1. I'm prompted that the zip already contains a copy of the file. Can I
automatically overwrite the existing file without the prompt appearing?

2. Having asked for the file to be replaced, the code moves on to the
Do...Loop and hangs up. I see now that this is because the code is waiting
until the number of files in the zip matches the number in the folder. This
will never happen as there's only 1 file in the folder and more than that in
the zip.
Is there any way to detect that the compression is complete, rather than
counting files? The only alternative I can see is to extract all the files,
delete the zip, replace the file I need to, then recreate the zip.

As this is to be done over a VPN connection, the time involved and the
chances of a problem with the connection increases greatly.
