>We have accomplished the ability to create a folder and place a series of pdf (Acrobat 4.0) files that are VFP6 reports into the specific folder created for them.

Can you tell us whether DynaZip and Active Delivery will give us what we want before we "shell out" the amount required for them. Should we go for the "Complete Bundle" or is the AD/DZ+AX Bundle sufficient?

Jim,

I use Dynazip to zip files and folders form within VFP and I'm very happy with it.
I never used Active delivery but it seems a good product too.

I use the Dynazip ActiveX to Zip files and send files via E-mail (I use MSMAPI32). It all works ok. I've never worked with Self-Extract Files. But I think that should'nt be very hard to handle.
For what I do I don't really need the comlete bundle (although that whats I got).
I don't know if you need it to get the self-extract files. Take a look at www.innermedia.com, their site.

I hope I've helped.
