Excel VBA - Creating Directories
Hello, I was hoping some of you on this forum will be able to help m
out with a VBA problem I seem to be having. I want to create directory but before I create the directory I want to check to see i it exists first. If it exists then I want to skip creating the directory. If it doesn' then I want to create the directory. It sounds simple but I am having nothing but trouble trying to get i to work. TIA -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |
