Hi,

Code in use is shown below & works well.
Currenly the code in Red deletes an unwanted pdf & works well.

I now need to have another but i get an error message advising me the event is allready present.
Is there a way to have two or something the same.

Sometimes i generate a copy of the current invoice so say in this example Tom Jones 123.pdf
Its path is C:\Users\Ian\Desktop\REMOTES ETC\DR\DR SCREEN SHOT PDF
The saved file is named using the details in cell G13

Like i say SOMETIMES so my goal is to run this code supplied then if the copy file is present just delete it.
If there is no fil;e present then obviously ignore as nothing to delete.

The code would need to be towards the top of this code as opposed to the bottom.
Thanks

    Dim srcWS As Worksheet, destWS As Worksheet
    Set srcWS = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("INV")
    Set destWS = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("DATABASE")
    If Trim(destWS.Range("P5").Value) <> "" Then
      MsgBox ("CELL P5 HAS A INVOICE NUMBER IN IT ALREADY"), vbCritical, "CELL P5 ISNT EMPTY MESSAGE"
    With Sheets("INV")
      Worksheets("DATABASE").Activate
      Worksheets("DATABASE").Range("P5").Select
    End With
   
    Exit Sub
    Else

    With destWS
      .Range("P5").Font.Size = 14
