When I use the zipentry.extract it extracts to the correct\r\n folder, but adds a folder with date as name in the unpack folder. I need it to unpack directly into the folder I specified.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nYour help will be very much appreciated as I am only seeing a workaround of checking the &quot;unpack folder\\date&quot; and moving all the files to &quot;unpack folder&quot; and then deleting date folder.</p>\r\n<p>Thank you</p>\r\n<p>regards The_O</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<br>\r\n&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <span style=\"color:blue\">\r\nDim</span> ZipBackupFileName <span style=\"color:blue\">As</span> <span style=\"color:blue\">\r\nString</span> = <span style=\"color:blue\">String</span>.Empty<br>\r\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
