I am new to Vb but have done alot of VBA with Access. I now wish to build a small utility that will open WinZip or PkZip in the background and then I can copy a couple of database files to it and then close Winzip/Pkzip after the copying is complete. I would also like to find out how to close a open application through VB.


Any help would be appreciated.
