| Hi guys, not sure what’s going on, but I posted this question twice in the ‘Script Library’ forum and it was bounced both times. Consequently I have no idea where to post this, I’ll try here.I was trying to create a script on my local PC using WinZip, when the DBA informed me the server I will be using does not have WinZip loaded (go figure). Someone said Windows has a Compression command. I Googled Windows Compress and followed their example but the file did not Zip.COMPACT P:\data\TestFile.txt /CIt compresses the file on the disk but the file does not zip it (eg. If you ck Properties on the file it shows size: 183 kb/ Disk size 68 kb). I tried to find the executable for the zip command found in ‘Send To’ on the shortcut menu but could not find one. Any suggestions?OBTW, I do not have rights to load any software on the Server. Thank you,Trudye |
