I'm trying to compress some pdfs into a zip file, but every time I run the task I get the error 'Could not open target archive file'.  I can't see why I am getting this, could someone take a look?

 

<AMVARIABLE NAME="Date1">%Format(Now(),'yyyymmdd')%</AMVARIABLE>
<AMCOMPRESS SOURCE="E:\PDFArchive\ArchiveCB\%date1%\*.pdf" ARCHIVEFILE="E:\PDFArchive\ArchiveCB\%date1%\%date1%.zip" TYPE="zip" SUBFOLDERS="NO" />

Hi Charlie,

Is E:\ a mapped drive? If so, try entering both the source and destination in UNC format (i.e. \\foldername\subfoldername\filename.zip).

Hi Marjo,

 

No, e:\ isn't a mapped drive, it's a local drive.

 

Thanks,

Hi Charlie,

In the properties of your task, on the Logon tab, please check the box to run the task with the highest priveleges. Does this improve the situation?
