Hi, It appears then that you can create a zip file (*.zip) or a self-extracting executable using the TZipMaster component. What properties specifically govern whether the ADD method will create a Zip file or Self Extracting EXE file? Also, Is it possible to search this list to view previous posts? Kind regards Peter Gore Intel Systems Manager (ddi) 01277 376433 (swb) 01277 372916 (mob) 07891 911989 __________________________________________________________________________ Martin McColl Ltd, Ashwells Road, Brentwood, Essex CM15 9ST This e-mail including any attachments is intended only for the addressee named above and it may contain confidential or privileged information.
