Hi, I am able to work it out with FileSystemObject as below but the same code I want to write with Windows API, can anybody please help me in sorting out this problem.

Dim fso As New FileSystemObject
Dim fold1 As Folder
If Not (fso.FolderExists("C:\Fold1")) Then
fold1 = fso.CreateFolder("C:\Fold1")
End If

Thanks, Aleem Mohammad.

Thanks & Regards, Md. Abdul Aleem NIIT technologies

From the cycle "writing your code in 24 hours from scratches". Seriously take the time and read a few resources yourself rather than asking everything on forums. Not to mention the fact that if you dun really understand what's going on in the copied code you will be unable to debug it if something occurs. Then probably we'll get a new round of "questions".

You don't need the Windows API to do this. It's not going to give you a performance benefit. You're creating a directory on a drive, not calculating PI to 1,000,000 digits. Keep your code simple and easy to maintain. Use the FileSystemObject to do this. If you do this with the Windows API, you're going to get lost, very, VERY quickly and write about 50 times the code you need to write to do this little job.

You're not disturbing us. We're just pointing out that your overcomplicating your code and your going to run into too many walls that you don't need to run into.
