Default Creating Folders from Excel Using OLE Automation

Hi Bob,

There are a couple of ways to do this, but the simplest one is to use
the MkDir statement:

MkDir "C:\MyFolder"

Note that you can't create multiple folder levels al at once using this
method (e.g. C:\MyFolder1\MyFolder2). For that you need to use the Windows
API or FileSystemObject.

I have created a software tool that operates from a
Microsoft Excel platform using Visual Basic programming.
This tool creates reports from data in an Excel Workbook.
Once the report is generated, I want to create a unique
folder on my server and save the document to the new
folder. Saving the document is no problem but how do I
create a new folder on the server to save the document
to? I want to encode this using visual basic in my excel
module using unique data from the workbook to create the
name of the folder. Can anyone help solve this problem?
