Create Directory Method


The Create Directory method creates a new directory. It does not return a value.

Format

MkDir [drive:][\directory\]directory

The following table describes the arguments that you can use with this method.

Argument
Description

drive

Optional. The name of the drive where this method creates the directory. You can use a letter or a string expression that identifies the drive name.

If you do not include the drive argument, then this method creates the new directory on the current drive.

If you include the drive argument, then you must include the colon (:).

\directory\

The path to the directory where this method creates the new directory, or a string expression that identifies this path.

You can use this argument only if the Create Directory method must not create the directory in the following locations:

  • On the current directory of the drive that the drive argument identifies
  • On the default drive if you do not include the drive argument

directory

The name of the directory that this method creates, or a string expression that identifies this directory name.

Example

The following example creates a new temporary directory in the C:\ directory, and then deletes it:

Sub Button_Click
      Dim path as String
      On Error Resume Next
      path = CurDir(C)
      If path <> "C:\" then
         ChDir "C:\"
      End If
      MkDir "C:\TEMP01"
      If Err = 75 then
      Else
         RmDir "C:\TEMP01"
         End If
End Sub
