>Thanks, however is there a way that will allow me to zip files without buying third party package? I am looking for something that I can write in VFP?

The Dynazip control would enable you to zip and unzip files programmatically from inside of VFP - this is exactly what we use in our application. If you wish to call Winzip's command line executables (i.e. WZZip/WZUnzip), I recall there being another thread here that spoke about using VFP's RUN command to get that to work correctly. Hopefully someone has that thread ID handy.

Laterness,
