[AccessD] Delete an external file from within Access vb

Greg,

You can use the Kill statement.

or

You can use the DeleteFile Method of the FileSystemObject.

Hello again.

Many thanks to Charlotte, Mark, Rocky, Dan, Max and Gustav for your help
on the "open file dialog" box issue.  It works!

Now, I want to delete the file that 'we' used after selecting it from the
file dialog box.  I don't want to delete it right after selecting it, but
later, after I've imported the data that was in it.

But I can't remember how to do it.  I know I've done this before but I
can't find the code nor the brain cell that contains that information...it
might be on vacation at the moment.  Or it's fighting with the only other
one I've got.  Or they're both out playing HALO and I'm toast.

Any help would & is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
