I've done it with pkzip (www.pkzip.com) and WinZip (www.winzip.com). You'd write the excel file to disk, then use an External Action to run the zip command line & create a zipfile on disk, then attach that file to the email. You might be able to write an Excel macro to do the zip & email (without writing to disk) if you use WinZip, since it interfaces with Office applications, but I've never tried. jamileh > -----Original Message----- > From: Wolf, Gene [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2004 2:34 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Witango-Talk: Zipping files with Witango > > > Are there any zip programs that can be executed from > Witango to zip a file that is created on the fly?
