Macro that creates a directory but...
Hi
How do I create a macro to look into a directory and create a new directory called "Quotes" only if one doesn't exist already. eg R:\Team 318\Toyota would result in... R:\Team 318\Toyota\Quotes when run again, it wouldn't do anything, because the Quotes directory now exists. |

Macro that creates a directory but...
Here is one I use to backup to the current directory. As you can see it
bypasses the mkdir if there is an error. Sub Backup() 'kept in personal.xls & assigned to toolbar button On Error GoTo BackupFile MkDir CurDir & "\Backup" BackupFile: With ActiveWorkbook MyWB = .Path & "\BACKUP\" & .Name .SaveCopyAs MyWB .Save End With End Sub -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "Andy" wrote in message ...

In your ThisWorkbook module, insert
Private Declare Function MakeSureDirectoryPathExists Lib "imagehlp.dll" (ByVal lpPath As String) As Long Sub xx() MakeSureDirectoryPathExists "c:\aal\aam\aan\" End Sub and then run xx: you'll get the idea. PS: Private is not necessary in a code module.

This all goes on one physical line (although it might appear on several where
you are reading it) in the ThisWorkBookModule.
