Deleting a database

Is it possible to delete an unopen database on the click of a buttonin visual basic?
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. The kill statement did not work with .mdb files so i need to find another way around my problem(in tables forum as 'file description').
Thanks

I don't know why you are having a problem but the "Kill" statement will delete "any" file as long as it is not open at the time of execution.

Yes your right, my problem was that the variable representing the name of the database had changed when I ran the kill line. I have sorted it now by making it constant. Thanks
