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"

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

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Try

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