| When I try to run this statement copied from the VB help
Dim fso As New FileSystemObject, txtfile, fil1, fil2
I get a Compile error: User-defined type not defined.
Could someone tell me what is wrong please?
Thanks
Chris

Looks like you do not have a reference to the Scripting stuff
If you want to do file stuff, you would be far better of using the
native VB file handling commands
The FSO stinks

delete a file in vb.
I have tried
shell "del " & fname
where fname is something like "f:\temp dir\myfile.txt"
but keep getting file not found errors

Kill "f:\temp dir\myfile.txt"

Look up "Kill" in the help file. Why do things the hard way...
