Subject new file().Delete() does not delete file From Heinz Kesting <NoSpam@For.Me> Date Mon, 16 Jan 2023 14:20:35 +0100 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Hi all, I am having trouble to delete a file. I tried both versions, DELETE FILE and the file object's delete() method, but in some variations I get an error, in other cases there is no error, but the file in question is not deleted. I am getting the filename with its full path from an image object, the path is correct: cFile = form.alb_nb.img_cover.datasource form.alb_nb.img_cover.datasource = NULL // close file before trying to delete it ? cFile // check the correct path and filename new File().delete("cFile") This produces no error, with or without quotes, while the path is shown and is the correct one, but does not delete the file. When I hard-code the path and filename, like new File().delete("D:\Daten\DataBases\Taurus\Alben\A_002030\Cover_from_BLOB.jpg") it actually works. What am I doing wrong here, how can I use a variable here? Thanks for helping, Heinz
