does anyone know how to suppress the message windows from appearing from jzip
when you run it from VBA via a command line? It tells me there are no files
in the directory, which is fine, but it stops until I press ok. I don't want
to sit in front of it and have to press "OK" a zillion times.

or is there a better program to use for command line zipping?

thanks.

Why not check the directory for files before you call jzip?

If Dir("c:\MyFolder\*.*") = "" Then
MsgBox "No files found."
Else
'Do the jzip thing here
End If

ha ha! I thought of that AFTER I posted this... but that's just too easy.
jZip should change to suit me.. (JUST KIDDING) (it's thursday, I'm getting
slower and duller after this "long" week)

someone even posted a similar question on the jzip forum site but no one
ever answered. So, thank you for your quick reply!

Sure. Use the free open source Infozip DLLs. I've never had a
problem with them.

Compression DLLs, OCXs, etc
