acc 07 runtime question

[jackmcg]

Is there some simple way, using the new runtime for Acc2007 to create an empty directory at the setup? Right now, I'm inserting a small, almost empty .txt file in the directory I want to create, but I'd rather just present the user with a genuinely empty dir....

I'm not very well schooled on previous runtime development so I may be overlooking something real obvious. If so, thanks for your help and for not roflh...

mkdir("c:\newdir")

Will create a directory called "newdir" in c:\

Thanks, chergh... I asked the question badly.... your solution works, but it has to be in the db itself. I should have asked if there was a way to create the directory when the install is run. It's possible to include a vba sub in the install procedure, but it runs every time the application itself is loaded, and I don't want that.

Again, thanks for your help...

The mkdir command will also work in the command shell
