Hi All,

I am trying to use the API to delete a file with the FileAutomation Object through VB6 (Out-Of-Process).

With file.DeleteFile (parent handle), the confirm box comes up as expected, however fileObj.SilentDeleteFile generates Out of Memory Error(7) everytime. Is there a specific way this function has to be used.

File Automation Object  . SilentDeleteFile()

Any help much appreciated.

Double-check that the Media Center.tlb file you're using is the latest one that's included with the build.

Same error here. Checked Media Center.tlb version is current, but SilentDeleteFile generates  Out of memory:

  ' attempt to delete missing files
        For i = 0 To numResults - 1
            Dim tfile As Object
            Dim FileName As String
           
            FileName = searchResults.Getfile(i).FileName
            Set tfile = myobj.Getfile(FileName)
           
           
            frmUpdate.listLog.AddItem "Removing.." & tfile.FileName
           
            Dim delresult As Boolean
           
             delresult = tfile.deletefile(frmMCControl.hWnd) <-- This code works
           ' delresult = tfile.SilentDeleteFile() <-- This generates above memory error
            If delresult <> False Then
                frmUpdate.listLog.AddItem "!!DELETED!!"
            Else
                frmUpdate.listLog.AddItem "NOT Deleted"

Any ideas?
