Here's a function that I use...

Private Function VerifyFolder(path) As Integer 
    On Error GoTo VerifyFolder_err
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set Folder = fso.GetFolder(path) 'throws exception if folder doesn't
exist
    VerifyFolder = True
    Exit Function
VerifyFolder_err:
    Status_Msg "Folder does not exist: " + path, stMsgForm, 3
    VerifyFolder = False
End Function

Subject: [AccessD] Does a directory exist?

I've been playing around with the Dir() function but I can't figure out how
to determine whether a directory exists, so I can create it if it doesn't.
Followup question: can I create a directory called "C:\major\minor" if
"C:\major" doesn't exist, or do I have to create "C:\major" first and then
create "C:\major\minor"?

TIA,
Arthur
