Creating directories using VB6

[VBAguy22]

Hello all,
How can I create a directory using VB6? Say, I want to create C:\BlahThanks

 

[mmilan]

mkdir "c:\blah"

Hi,

insert a reference to "Microsoft Scripting Library" and use this code:

with new FileSystemObject
.CreateFolder folderName
end with

nicsin

 

[nicsin]

Oh well, I guess mmilan's solution is much simpler...

 

[mmilan]

Or, if you're not M*A*D, mkdir "C:\blah"...

mmilan (lol)

Ps. It's worth reading about the File Scripting object - and nicsin is right to mention it. I just don't think you need it for the task you mention...

 

[nicsin]

Quite right mmilan. I just crossposted with you...

All the best,
nicsin

 

[mmilan]

Aye - didn't see your second post nicsin - sorry...

ok thanks guys, how would u check if C:\blah\ already exists?

 

[mmilan]

Use the dir() function...

 

[BiggerBrother]

use the fso object again

fso.folderexists("C:\blah\&quot returns boolean result
