Hi,

Yes, You can Create a Folder by using IO Dos Commands and also using FileSystemObject..

Simple IO Commands to create Folder:
MkDir "C:\MyFolder"

Copy file from one folder to another:
FileCopy "C:\Temp.txt", "C:\MyFolder\Temp.txt"

Mkdir,FileCopy comes under VBA library and so when you open a new project commands like them are available by default.

you can use FileSystemObject for file/folder operations-this has got more options than the IO DOS Commands-like FileExists,FolderExists,GetFileVersion,GetExtensio nName..etc.,
but to use this you have to include 'Microsoft Scripting Runtime' library to your 'Project References' and is not available by default.

its not necessary that you must use these in the module-you can use it anywhere in your project.

you can make good use of the ObjectBrowser in VB6 to know about all methods in loaded libraries.
