Default Wanting to grab group of files and PkZip them.

I have an excel file that has two columns, Code and Filename.
i.e.
CODE Filename
Abc 123456.txt
Abc 123457.txt
Def 123458.txt
Def 123459.txt
Etc…
I would like to be able to select all files with a specific Code and have
them zipped into a file that is named the same as the Code. i.e. Abc.zip
would contain 123456.txt & 123457.txt AND Def.zip would contain 123458.txt &
123459.txt
The file names are actually quite random but they are associated with
specific codes according to this Excel file.
I am creating an Access form that will allow users to browse to the Excel
file and would like to be able to code this form to perform the above
operation automatically. Is this possible in VBA? We are using Access 2003 &
Pkzip
Any ideas?
Regards
Brad
