Re: Unable to delete folder

Help - Kill - See Also.

RmDir Statement

Syntax

RmDir path

The required path argument is a string expression that identifies the
directory or folder to be removed. The path may include the drive. If no
drive is specified, RmDir removes the directory or folder on the current
drive.

Remarks

An error occurs if you try to use RmDir on a directory or folder containing
files. Use the Kill statement to delete all files before attempting to
remove a directory or folder.

This example uses the RmDir statement to remove an existing directory or
folder.

' Assume that MYDIR is an empty directory or folder.
RmDir "MYDIR" ' Remove MYDIR.

Cheers,
Alan

Hi,

I have the following code to select a folder and then delete it. I
keep getting a Path/File error on the line that deletes the actual
folder. The line before that line deletes the files in the folder but
I get the error message when the procedure attempts to delete the
folder selected in the BrowseforFolderbyPath function.

How can I get it to delete the folder that the user has selected in
the Browse for Folder dialog?


Thanks,
Anthony
