Hi there,
I want to zip and unzip a file (using DOS zip) in VB code. Can you show me how to do it.
Thanks in advanced.

use Shell and pass the arguments.
e.g. using PKWARE
Code:
Shell "PKUNZIP [arguments & filename]", vbHide

I 've tried but no thing happens. Must I install something else to execute this shell. If I must where can I get it?

PKWARE used to be shareware, but apparently they've stopped distributing it. This guy's in the same boat...there's some suggestions in that thread.
