Hi Shafid,

I use DynaZip (http://www.innermedia.com/). It is an ActiveX that I can control programmatically and compresses the files in a standard ZIP format that can be opened by other compression programs such as WinZip and PKZip.

>I have been providing a backup facility using xcopy, copy, zip, "my old dos compressed program" etc to backup clients data in vfp applications they use. What do other programers provide as a backup facility with their applications?? Can someone point me to the right direction please . . . TIA.
