Hi Joost Thanks for ur reply... links you have provided are works for extracting zip files but my requirement is archiving files into zip.... i have tried out this task... i got it by configuring as following settings executable: c:\<fullpath>\winzip32.exe Arguments: a <sample name for ur zip file> "<Fullpath of source files>" workingDirectory: "<Full path of the directory where you want to save the zip file....>" it have worked for me... Thanks & Regards $@m
