>Is there a way to incorporate ZIP functions to an application in VFP7? I would like to create a backup copy of the program dbfs. Is there anything done in this direction?

Oi Valter:

There are several libraries to do this.
I use DynaZip (http://www.innermedia.com ) and it works very well. It coems as a DLL and as an ActiveX (your choice to use) and even has VFP samples in the manual. It does everything a ZZIP utility should do and files are totally compatible with the PK standard used by programs such as WinZIP.
