You can fix it by adding a. So what I recommend is…. So it seems that the only one of these that is really needed is to check the file count. What are the other two tests for? By using your code I am able to Zip all the files available in a folder. But it zips all the files inside the containing folder as well as folder itself.
Lets say we have a default folder named X and containing files are file1,file2. And suppose zip folder is Myzip. So after zip I find that Myzip.
It runs in the background on a server in the LAN room. This is obviously something we need to fix because the LAN room is not monitored regularly.
Any suggestions? It happens so rarely but, when it does, it really causes problems. Did you have any luck? I also have it send an email notification if you need that routine let me know i can repost the code. This will record the error but continue the exit routine without prompts.

When I run in Win7 its working fine. Any help???? I am not sure if WinZip is involved here but can you please post the calling code that fails so I can try to replicate? Hi, first i want to thank to the author for this code. Sam Wong: Hello Sam in not an expert in programming but i have in ideea.
You can creat an exe or atctivex with a flag for creation of txt file. You call the exe with parameters and wait for the flag to become true. After that you go forward with zipping method. This code is wonderful and so appreciated. I have two questions. Then, when I want to unzip to another folder, it first creates a DEF folder then unzips the files inside.
How do I either avoid putting the path into the ZIP file or avoid using in when unzipping? Thank you for posting this great code. I have used it in my Access apps and it works fine most of the time.
I occasionally ran into an issue when it failed to grap a target file and ended up with a bad zip file. In my procedure, it first creates a list of long records with fixed length in a temporary table.
Then exports to a text file. I think it may be the zip function starts out a bid too early before the target file is completely created. Has anyone with suggestion? Greatly appreciate! I love the code but I need to deal with a password protected zip file. How would I pass a parameter like a password? The file comes from a production system that has a well documented process that will not change for a squirrel like me…. It works fine on regular folders. But, if I try to use it with zip files, my process errors out every time.

Thread starter DGelinas Start date Aug 9, DGelinas New Member. Joined Aug 9, Messages 3. Good day, I am looking for a way to zip all of the files in a folder automatically. I found the following from Ron de Bruin, which is almost exactly what I need: Zip file s with the default Windows zip program VBA The section "Browse to a folder and zip all files in it" leads to exactly the end result I want, except that I do not want to browse to the folder.
I would then like the macro to go to each folder, and create Files Instinctively, I feel this should only require changing the code so that it chooses the folders based on the contents of the file, instead of by browsing, but I have no idea how to do that or even if it is possible. My perfect end result would be a macro that would work in such a way that I only need to change the folder names in the future to zip other folders; this would speed up year end archiving, among other things.
