Deleting Files Using Access

[DevDaniel]

I have: an obsolete Excel file.

I want: to delete the file (using code in my Access database). The file name
is known, so there is no need to use a file browser.

Any suggestions?

Use the Kill statement:

Kill "C:\Folder\File.xls"

Thanks, Doug! Worked like a charm!

Use the Kill statement:

Kill "C:\Folder\File.xls"

What event is supposed to trigger the code being run?

Presumably you put the code in a Function or Sub: just call that routine in
whatever event's supposed to trigger it.
