Is there an easy way to make a form button that will run winzip and zip up
an access file to be emailed?

Winzip does have a command line interface, which you could use through
Access. You would not be albe to ZIP up the current database though, as it
would still be open
 
The command line portion is very useful -- much easier to use than the
clumsy windows interface. You need to buy a licensed copy of WinZip and
then you can (i think, free) get the command line add-on. Definitely
worthwhile.

try the "Shell" function.
don't forget to go to Winzip's website and get wzzip/wzunzip.
