Hello,

I have an app in Delphi7. In it, I have the window command DeleteFile(). It
works fine on our Windows 2000 Server, but does not work properly on our
Windows XP or 2003 Server.
The file name is "C:\temp\hd*.*" I want to delete all files starting with
"hd". And like I said, it works fine on Windows 2000 Server. But on our
other servers, it seems NOT to like the "*"... if I write
"C:\temp\hd_230293.doc", then it deletes that file, but it does not seem to
understand the "*".

Please Help,

H. Dumas
