Default How to delete a file using VBA

See the Kill Statement in VBA help.

I am sure this must be a really easy process but I have searched and
searched for an answer without success.

I need to include a command in an Excel macro which will delete a file.
The name of the file will vary each time the macro runs but the path,
filename and extension are held in a cell in the spreadsheet. Note that
the file that I want to delete is not the Excel file which is running
the macro and it is not an open file. (It is actually a .txt file in a
different directory.)

Can anybody tell me what the code is?

I am using Office XP on Windows XP and also on Windows 2000.

Thanks in advance.
