This is my try at the zip with an older zip program. The last 2 I tried was the newest version of winzip.

There may be a conflict between Winzip V15 or the newest and this system because with the older version of winzip it seems to work?

Yep, I was able to reproduce the issue over here. And I was able to create a work around too. I noticed that this only happens if you run your application with the form open in the designer. On the other hand, if you drop your button on you form, save it, close it, and then run it, it won't happen.

Now we can move on and avoid it. I will see if I can investigate a bit further and find the reason.

Thanks for the sample, Terry.

Wow. I'll try that. Can you tell me why you tried it by saving and closing and then running?

I tried that because I noticed that it happened only once I run the solution. I wondered how the compiler would do that without the form opened, since it would have to find it into the project and do it on purpose. So I closed the form and as I guessed nothing happened.

Now, the reason for that is something I will need some more time to investigate and I wasn't able to do it yet.

I hope it has worked for you too. Let us know.

Yes that worked for me also. I just wanted to pick your brain as to why you did what you did. Thank you so much. Let me know if you find out why.

Glad it worked.

You are welcome, Terry!

Hey Terry, get in line, you are not the only one
