MkDir Simply Not Creating Folders
I know this will sound odd, but the MkDir function isn't creating
folders... and it isn't throwing any errors. I don't have any "On Error Resume Next" anywhere in my code. It just isn't creating any folders. The folder doesn't already exist and it isn't trying to create multi-level folder structures or anything like that. I just want to create a folder named "test" on my root drive (C:\ in this case). Here's the code: Private Sub CreateFolder() sProfileName = "C:\test" 'On Error GoTo folderexists MkDir sPath & sProfileName 'Exit Sub 'folderexists: 'Exit Sub End Sub |

MkDir Simply Not Creating Folders
Sorry, this new interface on Google Groups just posted on it's own...
anyway... Notice I've commented out the error handling to try and force an error. sProfileName is a string, of course, and sPath is empty on purpose for testing. I just want to create a "test" folder on the C drive and it's not working, causing an error, or anything. Any help is hugely appreciated!!

MkDir Simply Not Creating Folders
Does the sProfileName contain a leading backslash? You may need to change

MkDir Simply Not Creating Folders
I'm not sure why it's not working for you. Your code works for me. Are you
able to manually create a folder through Windows Explorer? If you run this code twice in a row, will it give you an error? Just in case, refresh Windows Explorer (F5).

MkDir Simply Not Creating Folders
I misread your post, but your code is all screwed up.
This sProfileName = "C:\test" combined with MkDir sPath & sProfileName looks backwards. You should have sPath = "C:\Test" and sProfileName contains a subfolder name, and then use code like MkDir sPath & "\" & sProfileName -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com (email address is on the web site) "Chip Pearson" wrote in message ...

MkDir Simply Not Creating Folders
Hi Chip
Vista have protected parts of the hard disk. Maybe there is no permission for C:\ I not test the MKdir on C but if you want to save a file on C you will see a permission dialog. With this text "You don't have permission to save in this location" "Would you like to save in the Documents folder instead?" But maybe creating a folder with code is no problem? I check it out this evening -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "Chip Pearson" wrote in message ... Ron, I haven't installed Vista yet.

Creating a folder in C:\ is no problem Chip in Vista
Only saving your test macros with code in C:\ because the path is short<g is not possible in Vista anymore. -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "Ron de Bruin" wrote in message ...
