DeleteFile Method

[don]

I have a db IV file passed to Excel from Approach.
I need to delete the file once I have copied the data into excel.

Excel Help says:

object.DeleteFile filespec[, force]

object Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.

I have no idea what the FileSystemObject would be.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Don

Don,

You got into the help file for the Microsoft Scripting Runtime.
Its script works seamlessly with Excel.
However, using VBA the "Kill" statement will remove a file.
It cannot be used to delete an open file.
The syntax is very simple...

Kill "MyFileName.xls"

Note: do not use a wild card character in the file name as you
could delete every xls file in the folder.
