Hi all

I am doing a project in visual basic 6.0 .

Is there any option/method to protect a file from deleting.

Please help me.

Possibly: SetAttrib

Depends what you are nervous about.

Prevent a file from being deleted?
Nothing that the User can't override if they feel so included.

The simplest (and the one that /keeps/ catching me out) is to
set the File's Hidden or ReadOnly Attribute, as in

SetAttr( "file", GetAttr( "file" ) And Not vbHidden )

This takes advantage of the [odd] fact that VB's "Kill" statement,
which is how you delete files, is a bit "short-sighted"; make a file
Hidden /or/ ReadOnly and "Kill" just can't "see" it to get rid of it.

Supose the Folder Option has been set to "show hidden files and
folders" then it is posible to change/delete the file.

Belated reply. I am sure you have tried it by now and discovered that "being
able to see it" in Explorer, makes no difference, to the other's responses.
