Deleting Common Dialog

[Guest]

Hi,

Is it possible to get a common dialog for deleting?
I am looking for the one with the paper flying across the msgbox into the
recycle bin. Just like the one used for Windows.

Thanks

I believe that dialog comes from the SHFileOperation API. Randy Birch has a
pretty comprehensive example of its use at
http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/shell/shfileopadv.htm

Obligatory warning: Randy's site is aimed at VB programmers. Because of
difference between VB and Access, some of the examples don't port directly
into Access. This particular example happens to be one of those cases.
Randy's using control arrays on the form, and Access doesn't support control
arrays. Hopefully you can figure out how the code works, though.
