Re: Compress Folder to a single file?

First you have to create an empty ZIP file named e.g. Empty.zip.
Then:

Dim fso, winShell, MyTarget, MySource
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
MySource = "c:\folder_to_zip"
MyTarget = "c:\zipped_folder.zip"
fso.CopyFile "Empty.zip", MySource
Set winShell = createObject("shell.application")

winShell.namespace(MyTarget).CopyHere MySource ' <-- This is the
COMMAND

Set winShell = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing

Correction:

Dim fso, winShell, MyTarget, MySource
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
MySource = "c:\folder_to_zip"
MyTarget = "c:\zipped_folder.zip"
fso.CopyFile "Empty.zip", MyTarget
Set winShell = createObject("shell.application")

winShell.namespace(MyTarget).CopyHere MySource ' <-- This is IT
Set winShell = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
