Deleting a temp file

I'm working with files, and I have to create a temp file in the
process. Is there a command to delete a file in VB?

Deleting a temp file

A fairly simple perusal of the VB help files would tell you that the
statement "Kill" will do what you want.

Yes. Use the Kill command.

In UNIX when I create a temp file I immediately "unlink" it. Since it is
already open, I can continue to use it and then when the program exits the
file will automatically disappear. Is there any equivalent with VB6?

Deleting a temp file

Not that I'm aware of, but you may be able to emulate this in the main
form's unload event. (If you can record the location of the file somewhere
you can delete it when the main form's unload event fires.)
