deleting files

[vdraceil]

Is it possible to delete files(any file) in the system from within vb??I ask this because it is possible to create a text file and save it from within vb..there must be a way to delete the created files i suppose,but i dont know how!

Sure, create a File System Object, and delete the file, something like this should do:

[CODE=vb]dim obj1 as object
set obj1 = createobject("s cripting.filesy stemobject")
obj1.deletefile "c:\file.tx t", true[/CODE]

or, if you dont want to create a filesystemobjec t, use the Kill statement:

Kill "C:\DeadFile.txt"
