Something that could browse files, select some and zip them up. You need the WINZIP command line utility for that. Search the WINZIP site www.winzip.com for it and install it. Then you can use SHELL to start the utility after constructing the proper commandline for it as a string. Regards, Jan Karel Pieterse Excel MVP www.jkp-ads.com |

I just finished yesterday an Excel-Program to Zip
specified files in specified Zip-files. For this you need the Command Line AddOn WZCline (WZZip) from WinZip (Download). If you would like to test my program please send me your E- Mail Address and I will sen you the program.

Will other users of this spreadsheet require the winzip
commandline program to be installed? If that is the case this is not an appropriate solution for me. If so, is there anything else that can be done? -----Original Message----- Is there a way to create zip files using code in excel? Something that could browse files, select some and zip them up.

Hi Anne Onymous,
No, other users will not require the commandline version of Winzip to be installed. If they are using XP or XP Pro, then both these operating systems support the zip format and can decompress and read them. For all other operating systems the users will require a copy of the standard WinZip (or equivalent) utility to decompress and read the file. As an alternative, if you have purchased the full version of WinZip, this contains an option to make an .exe self-extracting file. However, although you can create a zip file from within Excel, you would still have to create the self-extracting file outside of Excel. This is done in one of two ways: either from within the Winzip program or, if you are using one of the XP operating systems from within Explorer. In Explorer, browse to the zip file you have created and right click on it. Winzip adds its own menu to the dropdown menu; from within this there is an option to create the .exe.
