hi all, i have made a command line for PKZIP to zip files. PKZIPC -add C:\test\test\dbf07151.zip @C:\test\lev07151.dfl Its a simple line, but that doesnt matter now. The problem is that when i say that the zipfile has to be in a non-excisting dir, i get an error code E14. that means insufficient disk space (thats not true, got 17GB left) But then i tried to zip the files to a excesting dir, and that works fine. So the question is: what do i have to to to say that he has to make the dir if it doesnt excist.

First, I guess 'PKZIPC' is a typo and really means 'PKZIP'. When I do this: pkzip -a new2\name I get: PKZIP: (E01) can't create: NEW2/NAME.ZIP I dunno why you get E14, but either way it seems pkzip won't create a dir. good luck ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
