Create Windows Folder

[dougmiller]

I am using SLX (LAN).  I need to create a new windows folder (directory) any time a new "Opportunity" is created.  For instance, if I'm creating a new Opportunity named '1234abcd' in SLX, externally I want to create E:\Opportunity\1234abcd.  Can anyone get me started in the right direction?

You could use the FileSystemObject to create folders programatically within VB Script.

You can find some additional info on the MSDN (or google it):

Here's a function that I use.. both in LAN" and in TaskCentre:

Function FSO_Mkdir(ByVal sPath)

  Dim  objFSO

   Dim  boolErr

  Dim  strErrDesc

   boolErr =False

   FSO_Mkdir = True

  On Error Resume Next

  Set objFSO =CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

  objFSO.CreateFolder sPath

  If  Err  Then

      boolErr =True

      strErrDesc =Err.Description

  EndIf

  Set objFSO =Nothing

  On Error GoTo 0

  If boolErr Then

     'Err.Raise 5101, "MkDir Statement", strErrDesc

      FSO_Mkdir = False

  End If

End Function
