Creating Folders Using FileSystemObject.

Hi All,
I want to create folders in a heirarchy.
When i use the following code

path = "c:\folder1\folder2\folder3"
fso.createFolder path

It creates a new folder named "folder3" if folder1 and folder2
already exists.
But if folder1 and folder2 does not exist then it gives error that
"path not found".

I want if folder1 and folder2 not exists then first create them
and then create folder3 automatically.
Is there any solution for my prob. or i will have to
Programmatically create folders one by one which i think is
not a good way.
Please reply soon.

Imran Ghani.

That's why, if you've read the documentation, you'd notice that there is a FolderExists method.

On specifying a folder, the methods returns a Boolean true if the folder is found, and false otherwise. If you mistakenly pass a file name as the parameter, then it will return false as well.


[bExist =] objFSO.FolderExists(folder)



Hope this helps!
Sincerely


Vlince
