OK - the vbscript works great but when I had the directoryPathInArchive variable "home" I am getting an error.  Any suggestions appreciated.

\r\n

dim filename 
filename = "C:\\Temp\\test.zip"

\r\n

dim zip 
set zip = CreateObject("Ionic.Zip.ZipFile")
zip.Encryption = 3
zip.Password = "TEST"
zip.AddFile ("C:\\Temp\\test.xls","home")
zip.Name = filename
zip.Save()
zip.Dispose()
msgbox "Done"

\r\nIt's ok though; i've seen this situation before. I suspect you are encountering a vbscript syntax error; you must not use parenthesis to invoke a method that takes more than one parameter. Remove the parens on that line, and you may solve your problem.", "PostedDate": "2010-10-05T05:24:20.417-07:00", "UserRole": null, "MarkedAsAnswerDate": null }, { "Id": "502448", "ThreadId": "229340", "Html": "

Thanks for the quick response. I suppose it would make your life easier if I posted the error message!  For some reason I can't add "home". Works great otherwise.

Error: Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment.

\r\n

Here is the code: (that is a comma preceding "home" )

\r\n

dim filename 
filename = "C:\\Temp\\test.zip"

\r\n

dim zip 
set zip = CreateObject("Ionic.Zip.ZipFile")
zip.Encryption = 3
zip.Password = "TEST"
zip.AddFile "C:\\Temp\\test.xls", "home"
zip.Name = filename
zip.Save()
zip.Dispose()
msgbox "Done"

Right -

\r\n

I just remembered one additional thing.  VBScript uses COM to invoke .NET libraries. And COM doesn't support method overloading - you can't have a single method name with different variations, each of which accepts a different set of parameters.

\r\n

So, you need to use a different name for the method.

\r\n

AddFile_2 "c:\\test", "home"

Good luck.

I read that article and was a little confused but it all makes sense now.

\r\n

That did the trick!!! Many thanks for the quick response!
