Default Macro question

I have created a workbook that contains several spreadsheets--one for each
month of the year. I have about 200 novice users that will be recording some
monthly data and sending the report to me. Within each spreadsheet, I have
included a macro which will export what data I need and save it into a folder
so that they can easily find the file and email it to me. The users have
operating systems anywhere from Windows 95 to XP, so it was difficult to find
a folder to have these files saved to within the macro that fit all of the
operating systems. So, in the macro, I opened a new folder and saved the
file under the new folder to the C:\ drive, which would be universal to all
operating systems. So the way I have it set up is to have the May file be
the macro that opens up the new folder and stores the first file. Then
future month macros saves the new files to that same folder. The problem is
that if I have a user that doesn't use the program until August, that macro
obviously won't create the folder and cannot find the right path. Is there a
way to program the macro to create the new folder only if it hasn't been
previously created? Any other options to solve this problem? I apologize if
I am sounding confusing--I am fairly new to this macro business. Please
offer any recommendations. Thanks.
