Hi,

This is obviously a variation on a theme and I realise that the deleted
file(s) will not move to the recycle bin.

On the first business day of a new month ie March, I would like to delete
all the files in a specific folder which are more than a month old, ie from
Jan or before.

I already have a procedure which runs only on the first business day of each
month, so the additional code can be incoprorated into this.

Thanks for your help.

Regards
Richard

Okay, as long as you realize that the files will not be recoverable...

TEST THE FOLLOWING AGAINST COPIES OF THE ACTUAL FILES FIRST to make sure it
works correctly!!!

' Put these with the rest of your Dim statements
Dim Path As String
Dim FileName As String
' ....
' ....
' Note the trailing backslash... always include it.
Path = "C:\TEMP\Test\"
FileName = Dir$(Path & "*.*")
Do While Len(FileName) 0
If DateDiff("m", FileDateTime(Path & FileName), #3/1/2008#) 1 Then
Kill Path & FileName
End If
FileName = Dir$
Loop
