Jay,

Thanks for posting this! I had been working at trying to get some similar code to do a variation of this job but for whatever reason, it kept bombing. Using what you had here, I was able to adapt mine and get it working.

Thanks again for your post!

Have had a look at this (finally). The key is to include the * in the file to be zipped. Putting in * is equivalent to using *.*.

So to zip a folder you could specific c:\files\*.* and everything in that folder will be zipped. Change the command line accordingly.

Hope this helps.

Jay,
I would also like to be able to zip up all the files in a folder and move it to a network drive with a given name and the date appended to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Gary
