Hi Chip
Vista have protected parts of the hard disk.
Maybe there is no permission for C:\
I not test the MKdir on C but if you want to save a file on C you will see a permission dialog.
With this text
"You don't have permission to save in this location"
"Would you like to save in the Documents folder instead?"
But maybe creating a folder with code is no problem?
I check it out this evening

Ron,
I haven't installed Vista yet. Is there an issue with MkDir?

Sorry, this new interface on Google Groups just posted on it's own...
anyway...
Notice I've commented out the error handling to try and force an error.
sProfileName is a string, of course, and sPath is empty on purpose for
testing. I just want to create a "test" folder on the C drive and it's
not working, causing an error, or anything.
Any help is hugely appreciated!!

I know this will sound odd, but the MkDir function isn't creating
folders... and it isn't throwing any errors.
I don't have any "On Error Resume Next" anywhere in my code. It just
isn't creating any folders. The folder doesn't already exist and it
isn't trying to create multi-level folder structures or anything like
that. I just want to create a folder named "test" on my root drive
(C:\ in this case). Here's the code:
Private Sub CreateFolder()
sProfileName = "C:\test"
'On Error GoTo folderexists
MkDir sPath & sProfileName
'Exit Sub
'folderexists:
'Exit Sub
End Sub
