If you need to, you can create a directory using VBA. This is done with the MkDir command, and is a remnant from the same command in earlier versions of BASIC. The syntax is:
MkDir DirNamewhere DirName is the full pathname of the directory you want to create. If you do not use a string variable to specify the directory name, then DirName must be enclosed in quotes. You might want to use this command if you want to create a directory where you can store temporary files you are building with your macro.
