MkDir - "File/Path Access Error"

[demoman]

Howdy

I am obviously creating a directory, but I receive this error WHEN the target root directory has restrictive group permissions. I am an administrator, and have full permissions. I am guessing that authentication needs to be passed (?), but there is no argument for that in the MkDir command.

I looked at the CreateDirectory function (Win32). It does have Security Attributes, but I cannot find and help, or example for this.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

can you post some of the code that you're using. I want to help, but don't want to take things out of context. thanks

below is the code. As you can see it is still in the early stages, mainly do to the fact I cannot execute the MkDir command on a Network Drive which has permissions set.

Public Function Create_New_Directory(strDirPath As String) As Long

If IsNull(strDirPath) Or Len(Trim(strDirPath)) = 0 Then 'no path supplied
Create_New_Directory = 1
Exit Sub
End If

'add test to validate drive
'add test to validate first level directory

MkDir strDirPath

'add test to validate path was created

Create_New_Directory = 0 'function succeeded

End Function
