I am trying to run the following code but get this error:

Compile Error: Sub or Function not defined.

Any ideas on how to fix this or why it is occurring would be greatly
appreciated.

Sub DeleteABC()
Dim FSO As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Dim FF As Scripting.Folder
Set FSO = New Scripting.FileSystemObject
Set FF = FSO.GetFolder("C:\Test") '<<< Change Folder

DoOneFolder FF, FSO
End Sub

Sub DoOneFolder(FF As Scripting.Folder, FSO As
Scripting.FileSystemObject)
Dim SubF As Scripting.Folder
Dim F As Scripting.File
For Each F In FF.Files
If StrComp(Left(F.Name, 3), "ABC", vbTextCompare) = 0 Then
Kill F.Path
End If
Next F
For Each SubF In FF.SubFolders
DoOneFolder SubF, FSO
Next SubF
End Sub

Do you have a reference set to the Microsoft Scripting Runtime under Tools,
references in the VBE?

Jim, I believe so. I went to toolsreferences and the Microsoft Scripting
Runtime box is checked.

Change it to late bound

Sub DeleteABC()
Dim FSO As Object
Dim FF As Object
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set FF = FSO.GetFolder("C:\Test") '<<< Change Folder

DoOneFolder FF, FSO
End Sub

Sub DoOneFolder(FF As Object, FSO As Object)
Dim SubF As Object
Dim F As Object
For Each F In FF.Files
If StrComp(Left(F.Name, 3), "ABC", vbTextCompare) = 0 Then
Kill F.Path
End If
Next F
For Each SubF In FF.SubFolders
DoOneFolder SubF, FSO
Next SubF
End Sub

Bob, made changes and code worked. For my own benefit, what is late bound
and why did it make a difference?

It shouldn't have made any difference. Your original code (with the
reference added) worked fine for me.

Late bound just means that the code library is interrogated at run time
(each and every time it uses a method or property from that library), rather
than setting up the entry points at compile time. So it is inherently less
efficient, but it saves having to set references, and more importantly,
caters for different versions of the code libraries.

But as Jim said, if you had the reference set, it shouldn't have made any
difference.
