Hi,

I am trying to write a backup program what i would like it to do is zip up a folder then copy the .zip to a second hard drive.

Does anyone know if its at all possible to zip up a folders contense to a .zip from c++? If i cant do that i think i would automate the process of zipping it, e.g open winzip then get my program to fill in nessery data. So if i cant zip up from my prog can someone tell me how i can press a button in another program, i suspect i would need to find the buttons ID then send a command message to winzip or somthing similar.

Any help will help

Thanks
