Hi,

Can someone tell me how can I execute a DOS command from Visual Basic? I´m specially interested in what concerns to delete files/folders command.

Thank you :)

You can use the Shell command to execute DOS commands, but if you are trying to do this to delete folders, why not use VB's Kill command or the File System Object? - Jeff Marler B-)
