Still Can't Delete Files

[Keith]

Thought I would start another thread in case the other had dropped off
people's lists.

Still having problems here when trying to delete files off the server.

Using the code:

Set File = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
ImagePath =
Server.MapPath("..\..\..\sections\ezine\editions\i mages\articlethumbs\")
IssueNum = (RS_Content.Fields.Item("CON_Issue_Number").Value)
Image = (RS_Content.Fields.Item("CON_Image").Value)
ImagePath = ImagePath & "\" & IssueNum & "\" & Image
File.DeleteFile(ImagePath)

Everything I do shows that the recordset contains the correct values, but
the delete still gives me the following error:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8'

Object required: ''

I dont remember seeing the other thread, and perhaps its already been
suggested, but what is displayed if you trying:

Response.Write ImagePath prior to File.DeleteFile(ImagePath) etc (dont type
in what you want, paste in what appears etc)

It returns what I expected it to - the path to the file on the server
incuding filename and extension.

This is what is so confusing - I KNOW that the values are there - it just
doesn't seem to want to use them.

What if you do something like :
File.DeleteFile "c:\somefile" ?

For now I would though that File is not created correctly...

Does it work ?

I found a way around it.

I set a session variable at the start of the document, use them instead of
referenced to the recordset, and then empty them at the end.

Messy, but works!

I still have no idea why referencing the recordset is not working though.

That's great. Can we see it?

: doesn't seem to want to use them.
