I am using this line of code to get a zip file to open with winzip.

objShell.Run """C:\Progra~1\WinZip\WINZIP32.EXE"" ""I:\S3DATA~1\MEPSFLR\FLRCDR~1\BDE_Reports\" & olkAttachment.FileName & """"

& olkAttachment.FileName & """" = May.zip

if I put:

C:\Progra~1\WinZip\WINZIP32.EXE I:\S3DATA~1\MEPSFLR\FLRCDR~1\BDE_Reports\May.zip

in the run window it works perfectly.

I believe the problem is with the quotations.

ANY help would be appreciated!!!!

Thanks for any help and
Have a GREAT weekend
