Make a Zip file from Excel
 

My program currently exports / saves an Excel sheet as a CSV file. However,
new program requirements call for my exporting the file as a ZIPPED CSV file.

Our thoughts are to use a zip DLL component if one is available. This will
be used by a large number of users and there is no setup routine involved.

I've looked at Dynazip and Xceed. The former appears to require a 3rd party
setup program and the latter requires .NET development. Are there any other
options?

I use VBSecure from Moonlight Sofware. It is only $60 for a full redist
license. It also supports powerful file encryption independently of the
zip/unzip function. www.moonlight-software.com . It works fine in VBA/VB6
as well as NET.

If your users will be using XP (and presumably Vista also works) then you
can use code found he

No components required.

I'm evaluating this product but don't understand how to use it. I want to
save Excel sheets as csv files and compress them using vba code in Excel.
The web site says there is an activeX file in the demo but I find no
reference to any OCX file in the vbe references.

The Readme file talks about some Chess game.

The Help file is devoid of help. Any clue how to use this? I was hoping
for a DLL or ocx to add to the project and some instruction on the properties
& methods to use in the code underlying my gui.

Appears to be a good choice from what I've seen in their download.
