I almost have my import from text files complete. Right
now the other manual piece of the puzzle is I have to
extract a tar file every day to the same folder. This tar
file contains the 111 text files that I import from Excel
with. Is there a way to control WinZip from within Excel
to go out and extract the tar file to a specified folder?
