Syntax and compile error.

[Jim15]

I am getting a syntax and compile error on the dim cou .... line. Any
suggestions?

Thanks,

Jim

Sub createfolders()
'
'
dim cou as integer,Dim FolderStr as string, FileSys
For cou = 1 To ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
FolderStr = Format(Trim(Str(cou)), "00#") + "_" +
ActiveSheet.Cells(cou, 1)
Set FileSys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
FileSys.createfolder C:\ + RESERVES
Next
End Sub

While you can Dim more than one variable on a line of code, you
need to use only a single Dim keyword.

Change
dim cou as integer,Dim FolderStr as string, FileSys
to
dim cou as integer, FolderStr as string, FileSys

You can't use dim twice on the same line. Try either of the two following

dim cou as integer
Dim FolderStr as string
dim FileSys as variant

or

dim cou as integer, FolderStr as string, FileSys

 

[Dave Peterson]

Dim Cou As Long: Dim foldersys As String: Dim filesys As Variant

But that's way too ugly for even me.

I am getting a compile error on the C: RESERVES saying "function not
defined". I want to create a folder called C:\RESERVES on my hard
drive and subfolders with what is in column A on my Excel spreadsheet.
We're almost there!

Thanks,

Jim

Replace
FileSys.createfolder C: RESERVES
with
FileSys.createfolder "C:\RESERVES"

Thanks. I am now getting an error that says "File already exists". The
routine is creating a folder called C:\RESERVES but not creating the
subfolders. I have the letters A - O in rows 1 - 15 of the Excel
spreadsheet but it is not creating those subfolders in RESERVES.
