you could use a batch file or VBS script.

How do I use a batch file so that the user can create a new folder structure at a dynamic location.
eg.. on our mapped drive we organize like this...
R:\Clients\%Year%\%Partner%\Client#\
The folders from Partner up are locked down to all staff with RX only. Under the Partner folder we have a standard Client folder structure with 3 folders.
What I'm trying to do is setup a way for admin staff to be able to create the folders with set permissions below the Partner level for a new client. The rest of the staff would only have file RWXD.
I'm sure with a little time I could get the folders and permsisons with a batch file, where I'm stuck is the variable on where the folders would be created as this could be in any of the Yr folders at the Clietn# level.

You would want to prompt the user for the info in some method. The most configurable option would be a small VB.NET program so they could use the standard windows open file diaglog box to select where they wanted to create the folders.

The person who writes the app would need a license for Visual Studio.NET. The VB code is kind of like ASP script, but more advanced. It shouldn't be to hard for you to do.
