Creating a folder

[Seth]

I am saving some files with CFile and CArchive.
I am getting an error after I try to Close() my archive.
This is the first time I have tried creating a file in a
branch/folder that does not exist.
Is the error beause of that and how do I create folders??
or what else could it be??

thanks

CreateDirectory()

Yes. If you give the name
c:\a\b\c.txt
then a and a\b must exist. If they do not, it will fail.

Furthermore, if you try to create the directory
c:\a\b
and c:\a does not exist, CreateDirectory will fail for the same reason.

You might take a look at my Registry library on my MVP Tips site. Registry entries have
the same limitation, so I have a recursive create function that will "unwind" and create
each directory step-by-step. You could use this code if you need to create arbitrrary
paths, replacing the create-registry-entry with CreateDirectory.
