Hi,

I am trying to use the code provided here:

http://www.rondebruin.nl/windowsxpzip.htm

to get excel to zip some files for me. I included the first bits and am trying to use the sub that zips an entire folder that I specify. It keeps giving me Run-time error though. It says:

Run-time error -2147024894 (80070002)

Method 'Namespace' of Object 'IShellDispatch4' failed

I have been trying to get this to work for a few hours ago and I can't find anything about this. The worst part is, a coworker runs the code with no problems. I have no idea what is causing this error and google is severely letting me down right now.

Any ideas?

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
