Install Workbooks
Workbooks are easy to distribute since they are usually just a single file that contains code. You can distribute them as email attachments, from a network share, by disk, or from an Internet address. Then, the user can choose where to install the file on his machine.
If your workbook uses support files, such as a local help file or database query (.iqy), you may want to package files as a compressed folder. To use the Windows XP compression tool to package a group of files:
Select the files in Windows Explorer.
Right-click on the files and select Send to → Compressed (zipped) Folder. Windows creates a single .zip file containing the files.
If you don’t have Windows XP, you can use the WinZip tool from WinZip Computing, Inc. (see "Resources,” at the end of this chapter).
