Is it viable to use MKdir with a table such that you can use something like folderprint to export a table of
filenames (books with author in the filename for example) and use mkdir to loop through and create a filename
with the authors name as title? I suppose it should be possible to do this with running a loop until EOF
that steps through the taable, setting path as a string variable, and adding the current record to it, then
using the MKdir function create a new entry...?

Thanks JBN

What is "folderprint"?

Yes, but you'd have to check whether the folder already exists. For
empty folders, this is hard with Dir(), so I'd recommend doing it
with the File System Object, which is more capable on all of this.

Folderprint is a utility that you can scan folders/files in and export them to Excel, delimited txt files,
csv etc. You can read it into excel and delimit to split author/title, artist/album etc and then base a
table on it to do mkdir.

I used a DAO recordset routine, read the author name, added it to a pathstring and created the folder.
Useful little routine that could be tweaked quite easily, but as you say, needs a check to see if the dir
exists for completeness.
