Microcyb Microcyb Getting the hang of it Registered: 2002-12-30 Posts: 95 Loc: Hell	Very odd, but maybe you might know why this is happening. using the varibles: $path = 'C:\windows\test' $file = dir($Path + '\*.doc') to generate a report with a simple while statment: while $file <> "" and @error = 0 ------> del $file loop $file = dir() now the report works just fine, but the del $file does not, and was wonderring why? _________________________ www.microcyb.com
