Use of WinZip with Visual FoxPro

[wrov]

Hello

I want that my application can do a backup without the user action.

The idea is the following:
- When the user hit the "Exit" button, my program (using WinZip or another program like it) will do a backup of the databases and tables. Of course, it could be as "transparent" as possible to the user.

Thank you in advance.

Walter.

P.S.: Excuse my English. It is a foreign language for me.

See faq184-145 - you could substitute a command line zip.exe and create .zip files instead of .cab files

FAQ184-2483 - the answer to getting answered.​

DynaZip provides a DLL that you can call directly from VisFox without the need for a command line prompt. I have used it very succesfully.

...We use the XCeed Zip control. Again very good. "I love work. I can sit and stare at it for hours..."
