Running a .bat file to zip files using pkzipc from inside ASP

However, running the ASP code from web server does not create the zip file. I can execute a copy command included in a batch file from ASP to copy files.Here is the codeDim objShellDim retset objShell = server.createobject("WScript.Shell")ret = ObjShell.Run"C:CISprojMSDNemailzip.bat",1,true)I think there might be some kind of security thing with my web server which doesn't allow me to create the Zip file.Please advise.Thanks,Sanjib
