Javascript - Deleting Files

[pmipalma]

Working in EIS, Brio I need a command to remove files (Excel) that have been exported.

I use Command Button, have created a script but this is the missing part

Thanks for your help!

Is this a JavaScript question? What are EIS and Brio?

BrioQuery Explorer is a database pull program using ODBC connections. I used it too pull information from Lotus Notes Databases and Data Warehouses.

The script we write are in Javascript (sofar i understood, selfstudy)

I saw something like this to delete the files
myActiveXObject = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
file = myActiveXObject.GetFile("C:\\Temp\\All Reports.htm");
file.Delete();

But this is not working

Please help

>file.Delete();
Try force if it is read-only.
[tt]file.Delete([blue]true[/blue]);[/tt]
Else, you might not have enough permission to delete the file.

Thanks for your answer

I had give this a try but still eventhough i am the administrator i cannot delete the file.

Anyone have another idea?

Does your app support ActiveX? If not, you will not be able to use that IE-only syntax.
