Naomi - I simplified the code as follows and it works a treat

lcDataPath='o:\swedvfp\vfp\'
lcZipFileName="o:\zips\colin.zip"
strtofile(chr(0x50)+chr(0x4B)+chr(0x05)+chr(0x06)+replicate(chr(0),18),lcZipFileName)
oShell=CREATEOBJECT("shell.application")
FOR EACH ofile IN oShell.NameSpace(lcDataPath).items
WAIT WINDOW "Archiving File: " + oFile.Name + ' to ' + lcZipFileName NOWAIT
oShell.NameSpace(lcZipFileName).copyhere(ofile)
ENDFOR
WAIT clear

Thanks as always
