>>Well, that's ok if you have the time to waste. I've found that some shareware can be very good, but other times it can be lacking. I prefer the support of a solid company and a product that's been tested with MY environment. Most shareware controls have been created by VB people with VB in mind, and never tested in VFP.

Well, I did say 'controls'. We are talking about ActiveX controls here. JKey is a FoxPro specific thing...of course it works with FoxPro! But have you seen a VFP specific control for working with PKZip compatible zip files? Just go to ActiveX.com, or anywhere you can find ActiveX controls in shareware, and try a few out. Or for that matter, even commercial controls. They are not always compatible. It's getting better lately, but it's still not 100% yet.

If you want a Fox specific thing, try FoxSqz and you'll find it's not PKZip compatible. You can try to work with WinZip, but I'd prefer to have something that looks like it's part of my app, not a separate app that mine is calling. It's more elegant.

Well, back to work! Bye.
