MkDir "Path/File error"

52 New Member
I wanted to create a subfolder in a directory and I used the MkDir statement but it gives me an error like "Path/File access error"

Here are the codes:

MkDir "\\BC123456\Att achments\" & Me.UniversityID .Value

BC123456 = shared computer
Attachments = shared folder
Me.UniversityID = is a text box on the form with a number format

I tried to use the Str() function but still it gives me an error. I even tried this:

Dim strUniversityNo as string
strUniversityNo = Me.UniversityID
MkDir "\\BC123456\Att achments\" & strUniversityNo

But still this doesn't work.


Please help.

Hi,

Try:

MkDir "\\BC123456\Att achments\" & Mid(str(Me.Univ ersityID.Value) ,2,len(str(Me.U niversityID.Val ue)))

Also you can try to add one or two letters before the number!

And finally something that can work is to map a network drive in Windows Explorer and Assign to this shared computer a letter For exemple Y

Then create mkdir with the specified letter!

Some commands don't use the path like \\Server\bla\bl la and are done to search for a drive!

Have a nice luck!

Check that access to your shared folder is available (folder location and file permissions).

(don't forget that mkdir instruction allows you to create a single folder at once)
