Deleting files automatically

[Raymondo]

I would like to be able to automatically delete a file from the fpdb folder -
I have set all the permissions to run scripts and files etc but using the
following code

<%
dim fs,f,s
set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set f=fs.GetFile("/fpdb/xxxxxx.xls")
f.Delete(true)
set f=nothing
set fs=nothing
set s=nothing
%>

but get the following error

FileSystemObject error '80040401' Permission Denied

any ideas anyone?

"when" do you want to delete the file ?

On load - on click - on close - etc

How will you send the event (from excel - for an excel file - from access,
from frontpage)

etc

PS - you can do this V simply from an access form (if you have permisions
for the folder drive)

Have you contacted your web host regarding having FSO permissions that would allow the delete
command?

Thanks Wayne, I wish it to run on page load. The permissions are the ones
that Thomas refers?
