Hi!

Directpry is much like a file. If it is opened by some other application, you cannot delete it - access denied because other application uses it. You said you have a terminal server. Well, if you run 2 applications this can happen.

In addition, I guess server will not allow to delete the folder if it contains files or subfolders.

HTH.

Effectively the file go in the recycle bin but Win2k TS don't rcognize that VFP have deleted the files and give me the error file access denied. ???
