I'd like my db to run various dos file-management commands, including dir (so it can detect and process whatever files are in the directory), and to be able to delete files.

Can anyone point me to info on how to do this?

Thanks.

PS I just found the "Kill" way to delete files (see topic "Writing VBA Code for DOS Commands" in this forum) but would still like more info on DIR, CHDIR etc.

Here's the answer:
