Delete original file

[Steve C]

I am writing a procedure that allows a user to update all the Word documents
in a selected folder with new information. In the process, I want each
document to be saved under a new name (which I know how to do) , but also
delete the old document.

Part of my code is as follows:
ChangeFileOpenDirectory PathToUse 'determined earlier in code

ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=NewDocName, FileFormat:= _
wdFormatDocument, LockComments:=False, Password:="", AddToRecentFiles:= _
True, WritePassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts:= _
False, SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, _
SaveAsAOCELetter:=False

Of course, what I end up with in the chosen folder is all of the original
documents, plus their newly saved updated versions. How do I tell Word
during the Save As process to get rid of the original file? Thanks much!

Use the Kill command. Check out the Visual Basic Help file for the syntax
to use.
