Re: Search and Destroy.



Okay good. So how come I can delete them One at a Timte or in Smaller
Groups? This is what I'm confused about.

BTW: Before replying to this, I ran a second instance of Search (for the
same files as the First Instance). Obviously they would be the same. I then
went back to the First Instance, deleted one file and the Second Instance
dynamically upates itself (which is what I would expect). However, Group
Deletions (in Either Instancees) reported the same message. So, being a
diligent as possible, I went to the Second Instance of Search, re-ran it and
the file list was identical to the First Instance.

In the First Instance, I deleted a file - the Second Instance updated
Dynamically. BUT, "Group Deletes" still report the same error.

Hmmm - you see my delima?

Thanks,

Wiley.

Your trying to delete from the temp directory - if you can' the file
is in use or has been deleted since the search was perform'd, and it
stops the whole process
