Create Windows Folder from Form in Access 2

[dtay1132]

My users are asking for a button in an access form that will create a Windows folder (Directory) on a shared drive to store customer documents in. When we create the customer record in Access they want to have a button to create the folder using the CustomerID as the folder name. The CreateFolder method in VB help doesn't give much in the way of sample info. Any easy way to accomplish this?

And why not simply the MkDir instruction ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

Depending on the flexibility you need, the FileScriptingObject is worth checking into also.
