Create a Zip'ed Folder

N

N4709L

I'd like to be able to use Windows XP's built-in capability to create and
manipulate zipped folders from within VBA. My VBA program creates a folder
and places several files into this folder. Now I'd like to create a
Compressed (zipped) Folder from this unzipped folder. I can do this within
Windows Explorer by right-mouse-button clicking on the folder and selecting
Send To Compressed (zipped) Folder from the Pop-up menu.

But how does one do the equivalent under program control? I'd like to be
able to create a Compressed (zipped) Folder from within my VBA program.

Can this be done using Windows XP's built-in zip capability (involving the
zipfldr.dll capability)?

Thanks!
-Ron

A shell command could easily ZIP <somedir>

Use whatever your cmd line is for the app.
