Hi !

Not sure where to post this one ...
I worked on 2 files (access databases) at home.
I zipped them (winzip) - both in the same file.
I copied the zip file on USB.
I came this morning at work and was able to extract only one of both files.
For the one that did not work :
Extracting to "C:\mypath\"
Use Path: yes Overlay Files: no
Extracting PriceListNew.mdb
Error: invalid compressed data to inflate

Is there a way I can "repair" this ?

Thank you !
 
Before extracting the file check your temporary internet files folder and delete what you don't need. Sounds to me like the temporary bit of space when you extract the folder is causing the problem.

Where exactly are you extracting to ? I know you have said above but it doesn't say exactly where. Try creating a new folder called test copy the zip file to there and extract to test. Does this work ?


 
Thanks for your advice. I did not have time to try it though ...
I beleive some sort of problem occured during the "zipping" phase.
I had to go back home, zip the file again, and extracted id just fine at home !

(I was extracting to my c:\drive)
