  Well certainly NAV doesn't have a way to extract files. So you'll have to find some sort of ZIP program that can handle automation.
  
  Try searching MSDN for some of the Windows automations that you might be able to use within the NAV client. You might even be able to get access to the basic zip functionality in the OS.

  Hi Belias,
  
  I once used the following component to zip and unzip files:
  http://www.xstandard.com/en/documentation/xzip/
  
  It works this this:

  CREATE(oZip);
  oZip.UnPack(YourZipFile, PathToUnzip);

  @reijermolenaar: tried to do it, but it does not work
  @DaveT: i can't get it work, maybe there's something wrong in my zip file?
  here's my code

  TXTGnuCashFolder := 'C:\blahblah\150_ANI';
  CREATE(AUTShell);
  AUTZipFolder := AUTShell.NameSpace(TXTGnuCashFolder + '.zip');
  TXTFileName := 'C:\blahblah';
  AUTZipFolder.CopyHere(TXTFileName + '\test.xml');
  CLEAR(AUTShell);

  P.S.: the code i wrote is really odd, i'm only testing the feature...anyway it should work, if i understood the concept correctly...if not, DaveT, can you be more precise,please?
