Hi

I am using the following VBA to save email attachments to specific folder and then record it in an excel file
----> what i need is to convert the attachments to a compressed file (winrar or winzip)

Public Sub SATD(MItem As Outlook.MailItem)

Dim oAttachment As Outlook.Attachment
Dim sSaveFolder As String
sSaveFolder = "D:\DOWNLOADTEST\"

For Each oAttachment In MItem.Attachments

oAttachment.SaveAsFile sSaveFolder & oAttachment.filename

'------------------------------------------------------------------
Dim filename As String
Dim RetVal
Dim fs
filename = "D:\DOWNLOADTEST\TEST.xlsm"
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If (fs.FileExists(filename)) Then
Shell "cmd.exe /c Start ""Tiff"" """ & filename & """"
Else
MsgBox ("File not found")
End If

Next
End Sub

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
The following will zip everything located in a folder of your choosing :

VBA Code:
Option Explicit

Sub Zip_File_Or_Files()
    Dim strDate As String, DefPath As String, sFName As String
    Dim oApp As Object, iCtr As Long, I As Integer
    Dim FName, vArr, FileNameZip
      
    DefPath = Application.DefaultFilePath
    If Right(DefPath, 1) <> "\" Then
        DefPath = DefPath & "\"
    End If

    strDate = Format(Now, " dd-mmm-yy h-mm-ss")
    FileNameZip = DefPath & "MyFilesZip " & strDate & ".zip"

    'Browse to the file(s), use the Ctrl key to select more files
    FName = Application.GetOpenFilename(filefilter:="Excel Files (*.xl*), *.xl*", _
                    MultiSelect:=True, Title:="Select the files you want to zip")
    If IsArray(FName) = False Then
        'do nothing
    Else
        'Create empty Zip File
        NewZip (FileNameZip)
        Set oApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
        I = 0
        For iCtr = LBound(FName) To UBound(FName)
            vArr = Split97(FName(iCtr), "\")
            sFName = vArr(UBound(vArr))
            If bIsBookOpen(sFName) Then
                MsgBox "You can't zip a file that is open!" & vbLf & _
                       "Please close it and try again: " & FName(iCtr)
            Else
                'Copy the file to the compressed folder
                I = I + 1
                oApp.Namespace(FileNameZip).CopyHere FName(iCtr)

                'Keep script waiting until Compressing is done
                On Error Resume Next
                Do Until oApp.Namespace(FileNameZip).items.Count = I
                    Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:01"))
                Loop
                On Error GoTo 0
            End If
        Next iCtr

        MsgBox "You find the zipfile here: " & FileNameZip
    End If
End Sub

Sub NewZip(sPath)
'Create empty Zip File
'Changed by keepITcool Dec-12-2005
    If Len(Dir(sPath)) > 0 Then Kill sPath
    Open sPath For Output As #1
    Print #1, Chr$(80) & Chr$(75) & Chr$(5) & Chr$(6) & String(18, 0)
    Close #1
End Sub


Function bIsBookOpen(ByRef szBookName As String) As Boolean
' Rob Bovey
    On Error Resume Next
    bIsBookOpen = Not (Application.Workbooks(szBookName) Is Nothing)
End Function


Function Split97(sStr As Variant, sdelim As String) As Variant
'Tom Ogilvy
    Split97 = Evaluate("{""" & _
                       Application.Substitute(sStr, sdelim, """,""") & """}")
End Function

The following uses 7Zip.exe :

Code:
Option Explicit

'This macro takes all files (*.xlsx) in folder located at :  "C:\Users\My\Desktop\New folder\"
'Places them into a zip file (using 7Zip) and stores the zip file in a sub-folder named  zip

'Edit As Required

Sub zipAll()
Dim strDestFileName, strSourceFileName, str7ZipPath, strCommand, folder As String

folder = "C:\Users\My\Desktop\New folder\"

strDestFileName = folder + "zip\" + Filename + ".zip"
 strSourceFileName = folder + Filename + "*.xlsx"
 str7ZipPath = "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe"

 strCommand = str7ZipPath & " a -tzip """ & strDestFileName & """ """ & strSourceFileName & """"
 Shell strCommand
End Sub

Thank you so much, but i can't use this in my code (Sorry, still new in VBA)
My code is saving the e-mail attachments in a folder (automatically), all what i need is to collect this mail attachment and compress it then save it in the folder
