The file zip/unzip ole object we used in the past no longer works in PB 2017. I am looking for any newer object or alternative method that can do this within PB 2017.

Hi Timme;

FYI: The new PB 2019 has a new built-in Compressor object and Extractor object for just that purpose.

I found the gzip decompression to be terribly slow.
