Default creating a directory if one doesn't already exist

Or you could use a Windows API.

This samle loops through a range of cells and creates folders by the values in
those cells.

(saved from a previous post)

You may want to test to see if the folder exists after the attempt. (If you use
a mapped drive that doesn't exist (like x:), you may want to see a warning:

Option Explicit
Declare Function MakePath Lib "imagehlp.dll" Alias _
"MakeSureDirectoryPathExists" (ByVal lpPath As String) As Long

Sub testme()
Dim myCell As Range
Dim myRng As Range
Dim myPath As String
Dim res As Long

With Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set myRng = .Range("a1", .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp))
End With

For Each myCell In myRng.Cells
myPath = myCell.Value
If Right(myPath, 1) < "\" Then
myPath = myPath & "\"
End If
res = MakePath(myPath)
If res = 1 Then
'ok
Else
MsgBox myPath & " does not exist!"
End If
Next myCell

End Sub

of if it were several deep:

mkdir "C:\test"
mkdir "C:\test\test2"
mkdir "C:\test\test2\test3"


Here's a little UDF for handling several sub directories in one step:
