I have problem to create folder. Some PC did not allow me to create the folder. This is because in some PC, I have used a right mouse click to open the C directory. Cannot double click the C: . How to allowed me to create the folder in C directory?
Code:If Dir("C:\Paddy GIS Temp Files", vbDirectory) = "" Then
MkDir "C:\Paddy GIS Temp Files"
End If
I don't understand what mouse clicking has to do with not being allowed to create a folder.
I have to use mouse right click to open the folder in some computer..Some computer just double click the directory to open the directory. Why could be like this?Only certain computer i got error message, path not found. Why?
I think your problem is that you are not able to create directory with the above code in some computers.... I had checked the above code and is working....
But you had mentioned that in some computers, you are not able to open the C drive with double click... and you need to open it using the popup menu....
I think, this is the problem of that Windows.... Try reinstalling the windows.....
I don't know whether it will solve your problem... Or wait for what others can say about this....
Note: If you are not able to open the C drive using double click, try to ask this question on any forum that will answer on Windows problems...
Bye..
REINSTALL WINDOWS????!!!! :eek: Why? Why not check security/permissions on the the box that doesnt allow the folder to be created. Check to see that the root folder or some other obscure error isnt occurring. I mean, debug the process!
Reinstall? Good luck with that.:wave:
Costs you a max of 2 hours and solves quite all problems. ;)Quote:

There is also the idea that the other box might not be under the control of the OP. The OP might not have the freedom to reinstall the entire operating system and its software, settings, etc.
The idea is for the OP to learn WHY the directory can be created on one box, but not another.
I believe you will find this to be the cause of the problem.Quote:

It's all about efficiency. You can spend hours finding the problem and a solution, give the customer a huge bill and figure you need to do 10 other PC's. This would tag the store pricey and slow. OR you could set it to reinstall, do other PC's in the meantime and give the customer a reasonable bill.
Nevertheless, you're right to. It all just depends on the type of work you do.
By the way, what do you mean with 'box'?
Without a doubt! When someone gets to the point where they bring their box to you, its quite possibly true that the best thing to do is to reinstall more often than not... No question there. ;) I would probably want a lower bill, sure.Quote:

How to check the permissions/security on the computer?
