How to delete a file in VB6 without using filesystem object?
Hi! I need some help. A friend of mine is developing an application in VB6 that creates a text file with some info in it extracted from a database. The problem is that there are times when the database is empty and the system is left with a text file that contains nothing in it. How do we delete this file? We're thinking of issuing a command similar to the dos Delete command, e.g. (run at dos prompt) c:\del mytext.txt
Any ideas how to do this? Someone suggested using shell command but we don't know how. Would greatly appreciate any sample code. Thanks!
