[DUG] Delete (File) Function ?

[Laurie..]

I assume you've added the '\' character between PathN and FileN.

  Hi,

    I'm having a problem deleting a database file where PathN is a string containing the directory name eg: 'c:\Test' and FileN is a string containing the file name 
      eg:  'New Record.dbf''

    Using -
   
    if FileExists(PathN + File) then
    begin
        ShowMessage('File Exists');                                        // and it does
             if DeleteFile(PathN + 'New Record.dbf') then
                ShowMessage('File Deleted')                               // and it does occasionally
             else
                ShowMessage('File Not Deleted');                        // and it does mostly
    end;


    Note if I modify the code and use the 'Erase' procedure results are the same.


    Any clues as to why this oddity occurs? 

  Thanks
