Automatically naming a folder with records

[K3ith]

Hello,

Could someone advise please,

What I am attempting to achieve is the following:

I have two separate fields, project_id and project_title.

I click on a button within a form and this button will create a folder with the name made up from the two fields identified above, for example [project_]-[project_title] and place the new folder on my c: drive. I know about the command mkdir, but I don’t know how to automatically make the folders name be [project_id]-[project-title].

Once again all advise greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

So really all you need to do is find a way to create the folder name. Let us assume a few things:

First, the string holding your mkdir results is myPath.

The form projucr id is called tProjID and and project title is tProjTitle

So now, the entire path with file name would be

Mypath = mypath & me.tprojid & tprojtitle.
