Creating subfolders in a number of existing folders

[LizzieMOC]

Hi all

I am quite new to VBA and have found a number of the posts on this board really helpful!

I have come across a query I haven't been able to find an answer for though - I have 60 folders, each assigned to a different client, and within each of these is the same set of subfolders.

I am looking to create a further sub folder within each of these filing structures as in the following example

Client1/1.Finance/1.1.Finance Reports
Client2/1.Finance/1.1.Finance Reports
Client3/1.Finance/1.1.Finance Reports
and so on...

I would like my new folder to be "1.1.1. New Folder Name"

I have used a VBA code to create new folders before, but this relied on the workbook being saved in the destination folder so was more designed for creating multiple sub folders in one location.

I thought perhaps listing each file path I would like the folder to be created in would be an option, but creating this (if it is even a viable option) is both completely beyond my capabilities and I also don't know whether this will be the best way of going about the issue.

Please could someone help / advise?

Thank you!

Welcome to MrExcel forums.

Search for a recursive FileSystemObject procedure which traverses the directory tree starting at the folder which is the parent of Client1, Client2 and Client3, etc. The new folder should be created when it reaches a folder which contains no subfolders.

The code at https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel...-sub-folder-tree-post4978310.html#post4978310 with my change in post no. 2 should be a good starting point, though changes would be needed. Use fso.CreateFolder to create the new folder.
