I assume you've added the '\' character between PathN and FileN.

Subject: [DUG] Delete (File) Function ?
Hi,
I'm having a problem deleting a database file where PathN is a string
containing the directory name eg: 'c:\Test' and FileN is a string containing
the file name
eg: 'New Record.dbf''
Using -
if FileExists(PathN + File) then
begin
ShowMessage('File Exists'); //
and it does
if DeleteFile(PathN + 'New Record.dbf') then
ShowMessage('File Deleted') //
and it does occasionally
else
ShowMessage('File Not Deleted'); // and
it does mostly
end;
Note if I modify the code and use the 'Erase' procedure results are the
same.
Any clues as to why this oddity occurs?
Thanks
