Help with the Kill command:

[Hambone]

I put a few lines of code in the app I'm working on to kill some files:

File = Dir$(MyDir)
Do While File <> ""
MyStr = Left(File, 4)
If MyStr = "test" Then
MyTemp = MyDir + File
kill MyTemp
End If
File = Dir$
Loop

Right after I typed that in it worked. But now I always get a "Compile Error: Invalid use of Property", and VB takes the K down to lowercase.... without blue coloring as if not recognizing it as a command.

I really can't figure out what the problem is... it did work the first time!

Thanks for any help

That could occur because of a property named kill.

Option Explicit

Property Get kill()
    
End Property

Property Let kill(V)
    
End Property

Sub Test()
    kill "MyFile" ' Compile error: Invalid use of property
End Sub

If that is the case, rename the property.
This is also why Kill refuses to be proper-cased.

Man I'm stupid... that was exactly it. I named the button for the function "kill".

....live and learn.

Thank you very much!
