I have a workbook which I have created from a transfer query from Access, if the file exists I want to delete it, I know that I can use the Kill command like this

Kill CurrentProject.Path & "\" & "DUA Export Binder And Lineslip.xls"
Click to expand...

But I want to check to see if it exists first, if it does Kill it if not then the code will create it.

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.

Try

Code: 
If Dir(CurrentProject.Path & "\" & "DUA Export Binder And Lineslip.xls") <> "" Then Kill CurrentProject.Path & "\" & "DUA Export Binder And Lineslip.xls"
