creating folders on hard drive from name field
Hi,
I have an excel spreadsheet containing information about people. The first two columns are name and surname. In addition, for each person, there is a separate photo (not attached to the spreadsheet). I need to create a folder for each of the people on the spreadsheet such that I can put their photo into it. I would like each of the folders to be named name.surname taken from the spreadsheet. I'm a bit of a newbee to VBA in Excel. How would I go about doing this? many thanks, Pete |

creating folders on hard drive from name field
Something like
Const kBaseFolder As String = ":C:\Staff\Photos\" For i = 1 To cells(Rows.Count,"A").End(xlUp).Row makdir kBaseFolder & Cells(i,"B").Value & "-" & Cells(i,"A").Value Next i I have added the forename as well, just in case there are tow with the same surname. -- HTH Bob Phillips "Italian Pete" wrote in message ...
