Mike,
You have typo in code as I could see with this piece. Wouldn't it be "m.lcZipFileName" instead of "cFileZip"?

ie:

lcSource = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9\Samples\Northwind"

lcZipFileName="c:\temp\NortwindFiles.zip"
strtofile(chr(0x50)+chr(0x4B)+chr(0x05)+chr(0x06)+replicate(chr(0),18),m.lcZipFileName)
oShell=CREATEOBJECT("shell.application")
FOR EACH ofile IN oShell.NameSpace(m.lcSource).items
  oShell.NameSpace(m.lcZipFileName).copyhere(ofile)
ENDFOR
