Deleting a file via a macro
I need to delete a file before I start up a macro. I want to just have this
as part of the macro I run. I don't understand how to use the deleteFile method. The file I want to delete is C:\StoreTabFile.XLS. The help screen mentions a FileSystemObject but I do not know what that is. Can someone help me out? |

You need to use the kill function...

Deleting a file via a macro
VB has a Kill command that you should be able to use. Try this line...
