'  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
'  The AppendOneFileOrDir method is deprecated:

Dim entryObj As ChilkatZipEntry
Set entryObj = zip.AppendOneFileOrDir(localFilePath,saveExtraPath)
If (zip.LastMethodSuccess = 0) Then
    Debug.Print zip.LastErrorText

'  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
'  Do the equivalent using AddFile.

'  Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
success = zip.AddFile(localFilePath,saveExtraPath)
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.
