maybe somebody can tell me what is going on. I have incorporated aunzip32 and azip32 into my form, works like a charm. Because azip32 does not support the MOVE function like pkzip I have to manually cleanup the directory where I'm creating my new zip file. This is how the program works. In a directory there is one zip file. This file has one text file. I unzip the file and import the text file into a cursor. Run a couple of quires on the data and split out the data to multiple tables. I zip everything in that directory to a new zip file. Now when i go to delete all files in the directory except the newly created zip file i get FILE ACCESS IS DINED on the original zip. I was thinking that aunzip32 was holding the file open some how. So befor i run my cleanup procedure i issue CLEAR DLLS, no good. If i suspend the program on the error I can delete the file from explorer. I'm really not sure what is going on. Please Help if anybody has suggestions...
