[AccessD] Creating Subdirectories

Tony, maybe I am  getting the wrong end of the stick.
If you want to create a dir, then do so.  If the dir already exists, then
just trap the error and move on -job done!  Why are you trying to delete it
if you intend to create it  again??
I don't really understand what you are trying to do, so I will just drop
out.

Max

Hey Max
DoEvents did something because now I am getting "Cannot delete folder: 
Access is denied"
