Hi Ron

MoveHere placed the target file in the destination directory, but did
not remove the original from the zip. Could this be because you have
WinZip installed and this is being used?

Hi Ron. MoveHere still leaves the original file in the zip (ie it's no
different to Copy Here)

I tried to Kill the file in the zip but it came up with no file found.

Looks like I'm on to a loser here.

Thanks for trying.

Btw: You can move it

oApp.Namespace(FileNameFolder).MoveHere
oApp.Namespace(fname).Items.Item("ron.xlsm")

I will try to delete it in a zip file this evening

I will play with it this evening and see if I can find a way

If you unzip first then you can do what you want but in the zip it
is diffecult I think ?

Unzip
Do what you want in the normal folder
Zip it again

Thanks, Ron. I'm afraid I'm using the Windows XP zip facility. I
may be able to persuade my employer to buy a copy of WinZip, but
that still doesn't really get round the issue of the time involved
(which could be considerable) and the dangers that introduces.

I think in this case I'll have to settle for some manual
intervention. If only I could delete the extracted file from the
zip (this doesn't appear to be possible with Windows zip), then I
could probably look to see if the file exists in the zip instead of
counting the files.

Thanks for your help.

1: The WinZip code on my site can do that (see the parameters
link)

But you can Delete the zip first before you create it with the VBA
Kill command

2 : If you use WinZip I have code on my site that give you more
control

See the note on the page

Warning :
It is not possible to hide the copy dialog when you copy to a zip
folder (only working with normal folders).
Also there is no possibility to avoid that someone can cancel the
CopyHere operation or that your VBA code will be notified that the
operation has been cancelled.

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.
