Deleteing a selected range X-)

[solo7]

I have created a file with the statement:-

OPEN "C:\Myfile.dat" FOR OUTPUT AS #1

How do I delete a range of the data it contains when I select that range from a list box? - I can remove the range from the list box, but it doesn't cascade down to delete the range in the file.

Alternetavley how do I delete the file?

Steady ...

You can't delete a "range" from a sequential file BUT you can write over the existing file or write a new file with a different name, leaving out the deleted data, rename the old file, rename the new file to the old filename then delete the renamed old file.
Kill strFilename 'will delete a file
OR
Dim OBJFS as scripting.filesystemobject
Set objFS = createobject("scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
objfs.DeleteFile strFilename
