save .jpg in access to zip file

[Guest]

I have an Access file on a cd with a column of .jpg files. I need to select
some of the .jpg's and create a zip file that I can upload as images to a
Yahoo store. I have no idea how to do this. To make it more complicated I
have to change some of the .jpg names to match the product names in my store
database. Has anybody done this, or know how to do this?
Thank you. I really appreciate any help.

Step one, copy the file off the CD to a hard drive. CD's by their
natures are read only so you can not work with your data while that data is
on the CD.

To make a zip file you need a zip utility. I believe that some versions
of Windows include a zip utility, but I am not sure it allows creating zip
files, maybe only extracting. That is more of a general computer question
and this newsgroup is dedicated to Access so I suggest reposting that part
of your question to a more general newsgroup, maybe one devoted to zipping
files.

Again changing names will require all files to be on a hard drive, since
you will not be able to change the names on the CD.

Are those image files located in Access or as generally recommended
located outside Access with links in access to the external files.
