vba code to create a dir

[maxbre]

hi all

I need some hints in order to write some vba code I would like to attach to a button in a form

the button should perform the following operation:
create a directory which name is taken from a field of the same form and the new directory should be created in a specific given path (to be set)

is that all possible?
any help?



thanks

Ask Help about MKDIR.

thanks for your reply
Is there an alternative way to the brutality of my rough coding given below
(I'm referring in particular to the error control )

I've been trying with an if statement including "folderexists" but I was completely unsuccessful: any hint for this?

tank you

If Dir("ThisFile") <> vbNullString Then
   'Dir already exists.
Else
   'Create the dir
End If

...should do it here.

with a slight variation your code worked fine

If Dir("theDir", vbDirectory) <> vbNullString Then
'Dir already exists.
Else
'Create the dir
End If

thanks
