MkDir

Syntax: MkDir path

path

A string expression that identifies the directory or folder to be created. The path may include the drive. If no drive is specified, MkDir creates the new directory or folder on the current drive.

Note

In BETA 1005, MkDir raises run-time error -2147467259 (&H80004005) when it fails. VB6 raises 75 (Path/File access error) when path already exists, and 76 (Path not found) when the folder that would hold it does not exist.
