File.Delete Method (VB6) |
Yes
oFileObj.Delete [Force]
oFileObj
Use: Required
Data Type: File object
Any object variable returning a File object.
Force
Use: Optional
Data Type: Boolean
If set to True, ignores the file's read-only flag (if it's on), and deletes the file.
Removes the current file.
If the file is open, the method fails with a "Permission Denied" error.
The default setting for Force is False.
If Force is set to False, and the file is read-only, the method will fail.
Unlike the FileSystemObject object's DeleteFile method, which accepts wildcard characters in the path parameter and can therefore delete multiple files, the Delete method deletes only the single file represented by oFileObj.
As a result of the Delete method, the Files collection object containing oFileObj is automatically updated, the deleted file is removed from the collection, and the collection count reduced by one. You shouldn't try to access the deleted file object again; instead, you should set oFileObj to Nothing.
