If you are not getting an error the code is more than likely correct and I see no problems. Check your permissions.

dynamic folder name from recordset

June 23, 2008 by Kenny Darcy

James Thank you for your code.

A quick question. my dir name is been called from a database <%=(Recseesee.Fields.Item("imagepku").Value)%>

my directory i want deleted is inside "Uploadimages"

you folderpath = Server.MapPath("..\Uploadimages") 'change to the name the uploads root folder.

When I use your code at present it deletes the "Uploadimages" folder which is something i dont want. how can I add the name the uploads root folder when my value is dynamic.

I have tried
you folderpath = Server.MapPath("..\Uploadimages") & (Recseesee.Fields.Item("imagepku").Value)

only to get an error.

regards
