First of all, where are you creating the files? Is it in the Program Files folder? If so, it will be virtualized to: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\<APPNAME>\ So this: > put specialFolderPath(x) & "/VirtualStore" into dPath > put "/someFile" after dPath > if there is a file dPath then > delete file dPath > end if probably won't work... (This is covered in the Vista "Gotchas" tip at http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/tips/env007.htm). > He does have Vista.

So I just think it's a path issue. Best would be to check to see if the file exists before you try to delete it, IMHO. Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.
