In the below excel 2010 vba
if the answer the the prompt is no then the files in te folder, then the folder are deleted. However, I am getting a path/file access error
when I run the vba
. Specifically the RmDir MyFolder
line is highlighted, but when I step-through the code the correct directory appears in the variable MyFolder
and I can write new files to the directory. What am I missing? Thank you :).
Also, if I manually navigate to the directory, I can remove it.
iYesNo = MsgBox("Do the patients and barcode match the setup sheet?", vbYesNoCancel)
Select Case iYesNo
Case vbYes
GoTo Line2
Case vbNo
MsgBox ("Doesn't match! Please enter again")
MyFolder = Directory ' delete all txt files in the folder
MyFile = Dir(MyFolder & "*.*")
Do Until MyFile = ""
Kill MyFile
MyFile = Dir
Loop
RmDir MyFolder ' delete folder
GoTo Line1
End Select
You most probably have a /
at the end that prevent you from deleting the folder, see the correction.
Also, you can change the Dir(...)
to only select txt
files to avoid deleting the rest of the files!
Here is the code :
iYesNo = MsgBox("Do the patients and barcode match the setup sheet?", vbYesNoCancel)
Select Case iYesNo
Case vbYes
GoTo Line2
Case vbNo
MsgBox ("Doesn't match! Please enter again")
MyFolder = Directory ' delete all txt files in the folder
MyFile = Dir(MyFolder & "*.txt")
Do Until MyFile = ""
Kill MyFile
MyFile = Dir
Loop
RmDir Left(MyFolder, Len(MyFolder) - 1) ' delete folder
GoTo Line1
End Select
