Make a folder

MkDir "C:\Mytest\mine"

you will need to create every level if they don't exsit.

Shortcut


'----------------------------------------------------------------
Sub CreateShortCut()
'----------------------------------------------------------------
Dim oWSH As Object
Dim oShortcut As Object
Dim sPathDeskTop As String

Set oWSH = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
sPathDeskTop = oWSH.SpecialFolders("Desktop")

Set oShortcut = oWSH.CreateShortCut(sPathDeskTop & "\" & _
ActiveWorkbook.Name & ".lnk")
With oShortcut
.TargetPath = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
.Save
End With
Set oWSH = Nothing

End Sub

Hi Bob, sorry for the delay, here it is really nice hot sunny days,
today 32 !!
Bob, is it possible to assign a specific icon to the shortcut that you
create ?

Yeah, just use the .IconLocation property when creating the shortcut.

Hi Bob, thanks. I am not sure where to put it. Let me explain what i am
wanting to do.... should of done that before i guess. I want to send all
the users an excel file with the code in and when they open it, it will
create the folders and save the file in there. I then create a short cut
and then want to assign a different icon to it. I am not sure how to do
that portion, should i insert the icon on the spread sheet so that it
can save it also to the folder ?
