I am looking for a way of deleting multiple records and at the same time delete the associated .jpg file too. The delete functionality is working grand and is below. Now how do I get it to delete the file as well. Have a look and see what you think. Cheers...

delete page below...

Delete page has the following code:

&lt;%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%&gt;
&lt;!--#include file="../Connections/property.asp" --&gt;
&lt;%
Response.Buffer = True

Dim iCount
iCount = Request.Form("Count"

Dim strID, strCheck
Dim strSQL

Dim iLoop
For iLoop = 0 to iCount
strCheck = Request(iLoop & ".Check"
strID = Request(iLoop & ".ID"

if strCheck = "Remove" then
set Command1 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command"
Command1.ActiveConnection = MM_property_STRING
Command1.CommandText = "DELETE FROM tbl_listing WHERE property_id = " & strID
Command1.CommandType = 1
Command1.CommandTimeout = 0
Command1.Prepared = true
Command1.Execute()

set Command1 = Nothing

end if

Next

Response.Write "OK Done, one moment!"
%&gt;
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;title&gt;Update/Delete&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"&gt;
&lt;meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;URL=listing_ok.asp"&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;



What can I add to both pages to get it to get the name of file in a certain field, go to that path on the server and delete it from the system? This would have to be done allowing for the deletion of multiple files and a code that does not time out if it can't find the file. A file exists script say.

Thanks for reading any of that if you did.

Cheers
