If you save it under a new name and just want to delete the old one, use

Kill oldFilepathandname

If you want to delete the activeworkbook

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
With ActiveWorkbook
If .Path < "" Then
.Saved = True
.ChangeFileAccess xlReadOnly
Kill ActiveWorkbook.FullName
End If
End With
Exit Sub

ErrorHandler:
MsgBox "Fail to delete file: " & ActiveWorkbook.FullName
Exit Sub

Hi

I got a userform which askes the user to open up a file. i have stored
the value as a string. is there a way I can delete that file?

produce an updated version and delete the old workbook.

any ideas?
