'  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
'  The AppendBd method is deprecated:
'  AppendBd returns the zip entry object, which is usually not needed.

'  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
'  Do the equivalent using AddBd.

'  Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
success = zip.AddBd(pathInZip,bd)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print zip.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

'  Do the following if you need the zip entry object for what was just appended.
'  The newly appended entry is the last one.
