Is There A Way To Turn Delete File Confirmation On?

[OBarry]

Using Office Professional 97

In either Word or Excel (not sure about Access and Powerpoint, but I think it would do the same thing) from the pulldown menu if you use File - Open and in the Open File window if you highlite a file and press the Delete key it deletes the file without asking if you want to delete the file. The strange thing about this is if you are in the same Open File window and if you highlite a file, right-click it and select Delete a delete confirmation box does popup.

Is there a way to make it so a confirmation box pops up before it deletes the file using the Delete key?

Thanks for any help in advance.

The answer is yes there is a way although I don't know how.
My word asks for confirmation both ways you described and even the third way..File.Open.Highlite.Tools.Delete.
