You don't need the api for that.:) http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/devprods/vs6/vbasic/vbenlr98/vastmMkDir.htm

Incase your wondering, there is an api function for it called CreateDirectory.

Declare Function CreateDirectory Lib "kernel32.dll" Alias "CreateDirectoryA" (ByVal lpPathName As String, lpSecurityAttributes As SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES) As Long

Type SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES
nLength As Long
lpSecurityDescriptor As Long
bInheritHandle As Boolean
End Type


Usage

Private Sub Command1_Click()

' Set the desired security attributes
secattr.nLength = Len(secattr) ' size of the structure
secattr.lpSecurityDescriptor = 0 ' default (normal) level of security
secattr.bInheritHandle = 1 ' this is the default setting

CreateDirectory "C:\MyDir", secattr

End Sub

Matthew, I think you forgot this line:

Dim secattr As SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES
