Although Deleting files can be done using the API too, you can also use the inbuilt Kill Function to do the job. CODE Kill "<filename>"

You could use code something like this, inserted just after they decide to delete the file but before it actually happens. CODE Select Case MsgBox("If you continue this file will be permanently removed from your system." _ & vbCrLf & "" _ & vbCrLf & " Do you want to proceed?" _ , vbYesNo Or vbExclamation Or vbDefaultButton1, "CAUTION!") Case vbYes Kill "<filename>" Case vbNo Exit Sub End Select It is good coding practice.
