I am trying to check if a folder exists, if it doesn't I want to create it. This works no problem. The seocnd part is that I want to move a file from one folder to another but I keep getting a Run Time Error '5' Invalid procedure call or argument. It must be something stupid I am not seeing. Here is the code. Thanks!

Sub Create_Folder_If_NonExistant()

Dim fso
Dim c
Dim fol As String
fol = "C:\SystemServices"
sfol = "K:\GlobalDistribution\Combined Reports\ProgressReporter.dll"
dfol = "C:\SystemServices"

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If Not fso.FolderExists(fol) Then
fso.CreateFolder (fol)
fso.CopyFile sfo1, dfo1
Else
MsgBox fol & " already exists!"
fso.CopyFile sfo1, dfo1
End If

End Sub


 
You've called the Variables incorrectly.

dfol <> dfo1

use l instead of 1
 
Also, you need to have a \ after dfol = &quot;C:\SystemServices&quot; to make it dfol = &quot;C:\SystemServices\&quot; otherwise you'll get a &quot;Permission Denied&quot; error
 
Duh! Thanks! I needed a 2nd set of eyes to see that. I appreciate it.
 
No problem, i've done the same thing my self!

I found it by putting a break point in, and hovering the mouse over the variables, it said it was &quot;Null&quot; so i checked the code, and noticed it.
