I did not get those results. Does it have anything to do with the Sub
StartHere?

You should see the counter in parentheses.

I got it working. Is there away to appent eCtr to the Folder Name?

Untested, uncompiled...

Dave...Your code works although I found one issues with my data. Several
companies have multiple offices in the same location. So when the folder is
created and the code attempts to create the next company folder I get an
error because it is attempting to create a folder with the same name and
city. Is there away I can append a number to the folder based on some sort of
count to make the folder unique? E.g.

Column A- Column F(#)
TVC Capital LLC-Del Mar(1)
TVC Capital LLC-Del Mar(2)

I have several hundred companies with multiple branches in the same City.
Thanks for your assistance.

Maybe...

Sub StartHere()

Dim rCell As Range
Dim rRng As Range

with Sheet1
set rRng = .range("A2",.cells(.rows.count,"A").end(xlup))
end with

For Each rCell In rRng.Cells
CreateFolders rCell.Value & "-" & rcell.offset(0,5).value, "C:\Test"
Next rCell

End Sub

rCell is in column A. .offset(0,5) is 5 columns to the right (column F).

I have this code that loops through my worksheet and create new folders. I
