The easiest method that I can think of to handle this situation is to make both the references to the Scripting.FileSystemObject and the file properties of the form. That way you can use the reference to the file to call its Delete method with the .T. parameter. This should work.

I'm thinking that if the attribute if set to Read-Only may be causing the file is in use error.
