Do you mean you want to do this in client-side code? If so, see a
client-side newsgroup such as microsoft.public.scripting.jscript

in Win 2003 - IIS 6.0 environment.

FSO is COM.

Why not just Windows Explorer?

Bob,
We have an website which provides filtered list of documents to be deleted
based on a specific business logic. This file are situated across various
file servers in the network.

Using classic ASP what is the best approach to acheive this objective.

Will using FSO's delete file method do the job or a custom COM needs to be
written to do this?

Thanks,
Parag
