Write a loop and use the Dir function to check for files. This will
successively find all files. Then use the DLookup function to check if
that file exists in your table.
Happy programming.

This is similar to a recent question in microsoft.publi c.access:

http://groups.google.com/group/micro...d5d8f41dd1235e

I.e., please read up on the difference between cross-posting and
multi-posting.

Hi, I'm trying to clear the TIF on Windows XP programmatically with the below code. This code works fine on any folder but the TIF. For some reason the atEnd() statements always defaults to true and no files are deleted in the folder. The peculiarity of this issue is that the files/subfolders cannot be seen through the windows explorer either. I can only access/delete them through a command shell. Any ideas?

I'm trying to write a program in VB.net 2003 that basically deletes all files, folders, sub-folders and sub-sub folders (etc). The program is simply for deleting the Windows/Temp folder contents, removing all the files/folders inside it. The problem i am having is that i can only delete files in the Windows/Temp folder, and i can't delete folders if they contain files, i know that you can't do this.

Good morning at all, i have to implement a server,that every n-seconds (eg. 10sec) sends to other clients,which files and directory has been deleted or modified. i build a n-tree, for each files on harddisk there's a node into n- tree, this solution is not good for large hard disk.. and i can't use inotify (it's forbidden), and only c solutions are accepted without third party software or external calls.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
