I have figured out how to have Excel create a directory and save a CSV
of the current workbook.

Now the macro hangs if the directory already exists. How do I check
for the directory and create only if needed.

TIA

Try this function:

Function DirExists(PathName As String) As Boolean
Dim temp As Integer
On Error Resume Next
temp = GetAttr(PathName)
If Err.Number = 0 Then
DirExists = True
Else
DirExists = False
End If
On Error GoTo 0
End Function

If Dir("c:\aa\nul") = "" Then MkDir "c:\aa"

Wow!

That works great!

Hi,
- Add a reference to the Microsoft Scripting Runtime library (menu Tools
Reference).
- use someth8ing like:

Sub test()
Dim fso As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Dim path As String

path = "c:\test"
Set fso = New Scripting.FileSystemObject

If Not fso.FolderExists(path) Then 'does NOT exist, then create
''' create directory here
End If

''' now your FIleSave code
End Sub

Just create it, don't bother checking

On Error Resume Next
MkDir "C:\test\subdir"
On Error Goto 0
