Can Access somehow zip files?

[Guest]

My Access DB needs to output data for use in a data warehouse. Currently it
uses TRANSFERTEXT then creates an FTP upload script and shells to execute it.
This all works fine but the FTP transfer frequently times out because of the
size of the files (150 meg). They are fixed length (have to be) and thus
would benefit from being zipped. Is there any way I can zip the files from
within MS Access? Thanks.

Take a look at

I have a working example that allow zipping with ms-access here:

The above runs without you having to install winzip.
(and, you don't have to use shell coomands to
pkzip or installing pkzip).
