Directories Not releasing

I have a Visual Basic application where after contacting the Web to download and upload some files I use a series of simple Dir and Kill commands to remove temporary directories and files from a Web site.

A system error message is generated saying that the files are currently in use by another user. Somehow VB is not releasing these files until the compiled application or Visual Basic Project is closed. I have tried to rule out various controls that are used as the culprit. I wish I could give a specific code example but I haven't got a clue as to what the problem is. Has anyone else run into this.

Thanks

Larry Saltzman
