Hi Maurice,
This can be done very quickly using the Windows Scripting Host. On machines that have WSH installed, this can be done in one fell swoop in VFP:
FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
if FSO.FolderExists("d:\moo")
FSO.DeleteFolder("d:\moo")
endif
Windows 98 has WSH built in. You can download it for other machines at:
Microsoft Windows Scripting Host >Is there an API delete function? If so, what is the syntax in VFP5.0?
>
>How do I programmatically delete a folder or directory and all recursive folders automatically without deleting files (del *.*) and then removing subdirectories (RD 'subdirectory')?
>
>I would like to simulate the effect of the right mouse click and delete the folder.
