Create file with word VBA

[kalle82]

Hi!

What is the code for creating a file. Not writing in it or reading it, creating it.

Thanks

What kind of file are you wanting "create"? A text file, a new Word Doc, a blank file, an exported file, what?

Within Word, to add a new document (to the Documents collection)

Documents.Add

Voila. A new document is there.

However, it is not a file. It is not a file until you save it. To save a file, you must give it a name.

Documents.Add
[COLOR=red]' this is now the Active Document[/color red]
ActiveDocument.Save Filename:=[i]valid_path_and_name[/i]

Voila, You have created a blank document file saved as the name you have given it, at the path location you have given it.

See "Working with Document Objects" in Word VBA Help.

Hi sorry I was unclear in my description.

I want my vba macro to create an .ini file when i press a command button.

After its created i have some code to fill it with entitites. But my problem is really how to get my VBA macro to create the .ini file in for example c:\folder\myfile.ini

I added an additonal comment to that thread. Note also that the file it points to does NOT have to be named as an .INI file. It can be a .txt file.

Thank you for mentioning the reference to the other thread. Very polite. Thanks for the star too.
