Checking if a Folder Exists and if not, creating it.

[Argonath]

Hi,

I'm afraid this will no doubt horrendously basic as I'm a complete newbie to VB and have dived in without learning to do much... Start in the deep end and all.

So if anyone could help, I'd appreciate it;

I've got this bit of code and I couldn't for the life of me tell you why it doesn't work, if anyone else can I'd appreciate it!

Cheers

----------------

Sub Folders()

Directory1
Directory2

End Sub

Sub Directory1()

Application.Scr eenUpdating = False

Worksheets("Sum mary").Activate

Dim cli As String
Dim Job As String

cli = Cells(6, 5).Value
Job = Cells(1, 29).Value

Dim FSO, Folder
Set FSO = Server.CreateOb ject("Scripting .FileSystemObje ct")
Folder = "\\Work\tri al reports\" & cli & " \ "
If FSO.FolderExist s(Folder) Then

MsgBox "Client folder exists, creating job folder for certificate"

Else

MkDir "\\Work\Tri al reports\" & cli & "\"

End If

End Sub

Sub Directory2()

Application.Scr eenUpdating = False

Worksheets("Sum mary").Activate

Dim cli As String
Dim Job As String

cli = Cells(6, 5).Value
Job = Cells(1, 29).Value

Dim FSO, File
Set FSO = Server.CreateOb ject("Scripting .FileSystemObje ct")
File = "\\Work\Tri al reports\" & cli & "\" & Job & "\"
If FSO.FolderExist s(File) Then

MsgBox "Job folder exists, please save certificate when complete"

Else

MkDir "\\Work\Tri al reports\" & cli & "\" & Job & "\"

End If

End Sub

----------------

Thanks again!

i have a piece of code here but in project refrences you need to add file system object with name microsoft scripting runtime object

on button click event
Dim fsys As New FileSystemObjec t
dim str as string
str="path"
if fsys.folderexis ts(str) then
msgbox"folder exists"
else
fsys.createfold er"path of the folder to be created"\new folder name
msgbox "folder created"
end if
end sub

Welcome to TheScripts!

Could you give us some idea of what result you do get? "Doesn't work" is awfully vague.
