Hi,
I've noticed the same on some web servers, where we typically have product
images stored externally from the product database.
After deleting the product record, sometimes the image file deletion fails.
In this case we trap that and queue it for later deletion in a nightly
process. Eventually they delete ok.
ISTR it was IIS holding on to them, say if someone was viewing the image at
the time. This was a few years ago so I don't recall the details.
regards,
Steve

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
