Duncan Yea that will work. It appears to be related to setting my working dir, for what ever reason neither seem to work (1) knitr::opts_knit$set(root.dir ="~/My_Reference_Library/Regression") # from R Notebook or (2) setwd("C:/Users/reichmaj/Documents/My_Reference_Library/Regression") # from R chunk
So it appears I can either (as you suggested) use two steps or combine but I need to enter the full path. Why other file types don't seem to need the full path ....????? myObject <- read_fst(unz("C:/Users/reichmaj/Documents/My_Reference_Library/Regression/Datasest.zip", filename = "myFile.fst")) Thank you.

You should do it in two steps: unzip("Dataset.zip", files = "myFile.fst") myObject <- read_fst("myFile.fst") This is obviously untested; you didn't even say what package read_fst() comes from.
