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. -- Ian -- |

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. -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "IanC" wrote in message ...

Enquiry for Ron de Bruin
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.

Thank you, Ron. I was thinking that MoveHere might be a possibility, but
haven't had the time to test it. If that works, then I can use wait until count = count + extracted files. Something like: a = oApp.NameSpace(FileNameZip).items.Count b = oApp.NameSpace(FolderName).items.Count Do Until a = a + b Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:01")) Loop -- Ian -- "Ron de Bruin" wrote in message ...

It's looking like I'll have to unzip all the files, replace the file(s) I
need to, then zip everything up again. Not a huge problem, except for the time involved over a VPN connection.
