Automated Visual Basic Application for Zipping and Backup

This study focuses on the visual basic zipping and backup application to improve and
develop the way of life to a more convenient style. This approach can be applied to
various areas such as different working platform or environment to develop a more
secure project. The main target is to design an application to interface between the
VBPZip with the visual basic project files working on the Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 and
Microsoft Access 2002 terminal with data compression and backup functionality. The
dictionary data compression technique and LZW method used to zip the project files
before backups. It will act as a synergy between user and application with the server that
complies with the overall application.
The VBPZip application development involves several stages. Defining the methodology,
there will be four phrases, which are analyzing, designing, coding and testing. The cores
of the project are the data compression and backup functionality in the VBPZip source
code, database development and its interface design. Data structure of the application is
obtained through research and detailed assessment. Entirely the back end of the
application is concerning the source code and its interface. To achieve those with fine
results, there are tool required during the whole process.
Thus, the result will be concluded based on the objective set. The application comprises
of several form which will act as the interface between the user and database. The form
encompass the VBZipping, File Type Options, Auto Zipping, date and time setting and
related project files data. All of them have the same purpose which is to ease and create
simplicity for the current visual basic platform applied at most development areas.
Suggested works for further enhancement and realization are also stated.
