Hi All,

I'm having an issue with a swp file, I'm trying to modify an existing asp page. When I went into the directory which holds the source, I noticed a swp file created. I tried to open the source for the asp page and recieved a message stating that the page is newer that the swp file. I recovered the source but I'm unable to delete the swp file.

There are two reasons why the file needed to be recovered in the first place;
1. Another program may be editing the same file. - This is NOT happening, as I am the only one with access to this file at the moment. This is new development.
2. An edit session for this file crashed. - this is most likely what happened, even though I have no recollection of it...

A suggestion is made to recover the file and delete the swp file... but I can't delete.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can try?

Thanks... any help would be greatly apprecitated.
