The WinZip® Command Line Support Add-On provides a parameter to run in non-interactive batch mode and reply OK or Yes to all prompts, which sounds like it might work for what you need here. Zip Automation Manager on the other hand uses WinZip's built-in command line interface, and I'm not sure there is a parameter for this purpose in that interface. The command line interface is no longer documented online (or at least, not at the URL where it used to be) so I can't check right now, but I'll follow up on this when I'm back in the office next week.

I'd like to use Zip Automation Manager to zip this directory (so that it can be transferred over to laptop), but get a message which looks like this (for every file):
>
>Warning: The following file is open by another program. If that program
