Thanks. I need to check to see if the files exists first before deleting it. Then I will not get that error.

Dan, Could you reveal the values for dotted variable (.vrun)? You may need to add another slash "\", if appropriate. Example: SET VAR vrunexp = ('delete r:\sawverify\run\' + .vrun + '.xls') &vrunexp Also, verify the correct drive letter and folders, etc. Hope that helps! Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
