Is there an alternate way to determine the existence of files other than
the File.Exists method. I have this code...

If File.Exists("tblm*.*") then
Kill("tblm*.*")
End If

The Kill method works fine with the asterisk as a placeholder but the
File.Exists method does not. I need some way to detect the presence of files
that all begin with tblm and then if there, delete them.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!!

Try using something like this:

Imports System.IO

Dim szPath as String = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()
If Directory.GetFiles("C:\TEMP", "tblm*.*").Length() > 0 Then
Kill("tblm*.*")
End If
