>I have a situation where there are some files created that have a leading space, eg. " JUNK.DBF". Is there a way to delete this file programmaticly using VFP5? Delete file, !del, and RENAME seem to have no affect. I am able to delete them with Explorer but I don't want the user to have to deal with it.

I would like to know how someone was able to start a file name with a space. You can probably enclose the name in quotes to do it -- erase " junk.dbf"

Can you do a X = Getfile(), then do a ? asc(left(X,1)) to see what it is?
