Question

Is it possible to create a directory folder for individual records in Access 2007. For example

tblUser
ID
firstName
surName

When adding a record, would create a folder C:\userdatabase\Surname,firstName,ID

Could see this being useful in situations for example where a large amount of images/files would need to be associated with a record. Access would create and link to a directory for each record.

Thanks in advance for any advice

You can use the VBA MkDir statement to make a directory.

For example if you want to create a folder whose name matches one of your ID values, as a sub folder under the directory where your database is stored, you could use this code:

MkDir CurrentProject.Path & "\" & ID
