I want to open a file on a network ... so for example: \\networkname\c$\
This networklocation is username and password protected.
Then run a vb script
Delete the file or replace it with a emtpy csv file.

How can I open the file with a VB Script (with vb code for the username and password)?

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
There's nothing in native VBA to do this.

You're going to need Shell functionality and use either a DOS .bat file or a series of DOS commands to copy the file to somewhere you can use it and create a blank file, something along the lines of

Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
objShell.Run (run a .bat or a DOS command)
