Default Deleting a file, created by macro

Hi All............

I open my Main WorkBook, then run a macro to create a secondary file, copy
some values to it, and save it to disk. Then, as the macro continues, it
emails this secondary file to my Customer... This all works fine, thanks
mainly to much help from you fine folks. Now to my current
problem.......I want to name that file with intelligence, like
WorkOrder1938, rather than some generic name that the customer will not
recognize. I then want to DELETE that file from my hard drive before
finishing up the macro.

I need the code please to delete a file named WorkOrder1938.xls from my hard
drive, if possible.

TIA
Vaya con Dios,
Chuck, CABGx3

Assuming it is in "C:\myTest" then

Kill "C:\Mytest\WorkOrder1938.xls"
