Hello Ira zip backup Have mentioned this b4, have meantime tried every trick in my EDB vocabolary, same result. I rename old zip file, backup works fine first and 2nd time, but 3rd time onwards I get the error 160. Further there is no way to stop the exit window, but accept that no backup is made. Add a "cancel" option, then at leasst I could provide a new alternative name to the backup.zip file. Photo file names Earlier I also mentioned the problem with the photo files. They are created in various formats, but all under Windows, why do you then have to change the file reading format and restricting it to MSdos limits. It creates a lot of "name cum number files" and apparently your system also have difficulty in identifying same properly, some were suddenly mixed ?? - any chance of chagnging this into windows file format enabling long file names.
