You could create a client-side active-x that has compression abilities. There's some sample vb code for using the free info-zip libraries at http://vbaccelerator.com/ Introduction to the freeware Info-ZIP libraries: http://vbaccelerator.com/codelib/zip/zipvb.htm In-process Free-threaded Unzipping and Zipping libraries: http://vbaccelerator.com/codelib/zip/zipthread.htm Zipping files using the free Info-Zip Zip DLL with VB: http://vbaccelerator.com/codelib/zip/zip.htm Unzipping files using the free Info-Zip Unzip DLL with VB: http://vbaccelerator.com/codelib/zip/unzip.htm This method would also enable you to bypass the file selection dialog and automatically select, compress and upload the files directly from your activex. All the user would need to do is click a button to "do it". Liabilities? It'll only work in IE4+ on Windows. Though, for the functionality you need, I can't think of any non-client-side-component methods. Regards, Shawn K.
