Run-time error 75 - path/file access error

[andymunden]

I am writing a VBA macro for Word which creates a temporary folder, creates some files in it, and later deletes the files and attempts to delete the folder. The name of the folder is held in the string variable TEMP_SAVE_FOLDER. I am using the following code to attempt to delete all files in the folder and then the folder itself:

ChDir TEMP_SAVE_FOLDER
On Error Resume Next
Kill "*.*"
On Error GoTo 0
RmDir TEMP_SAVE_FOLDER

However despite the fact that I successfully delete all files in the folder I get error 75 - path/file access error when I attempt the RmDir.

I can only delete the folder once I have exited Word.

Any help with resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!

Is that a complete listing of the code? If it is, then you need to move into the parent directory again before you delete the temp directory.
