Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendDataEncoded method calls with AddEncoded. Visual Basic 6.0

' The AppendDataEncoded method is deprecated:

' Do the equivalent using AddEncoded.

' Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
success = zip.AddEncoded(pathInZip,encoding,encData)
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.

Dim index As Long
index = zip.NumEntries - 1
