Need to add the ability to create zip files or extract the content of zip archives from a VBA project? Now you can.
Our MS Access Zip/Unzip sample database utilizes 7-Zip to add Zip and UnZip capabilities to a database.
We provide you with everything you need to implement Zip and UnZip capabilities in your databases. Furthermore, although our example is built upon MS Access forms, the underlying VBA functions can be integrated into any VBA project (Excel, Word, …).
