Try creating a variable to create the string in, then trace the variable to
see what you are actually sending to the CreateDirectory method.

That's EXACTLY what I have done and for some reason its doing the following:

("\\Myserver\ \dumper" & Jobid & "")

Instead of ("\\Myserver\goup4.1! flowerd\dumper" & Jobid & "")

I even changed the dir name to ("\\Myserver\ flowerd\dumper" & Jobid & "")

To make things simpler but then it leaves flowerd out???????

And ideas why?

Carlos,

A good neat way of working with strings that I have found is
using the Format method on the System.String class, in this
case you can use a simple substitution method:

    Dim newDirectory As String

    newDirectory = String.Format("\\SERVER\SHARE\DIRECTORY\{0}",
JobId)

    Directory.Create(newDirectory)

This string substitution method is exactly the same as the
one used on the Console.WriteLine(...) method so it should
be fairly familiar to you. For a fairly quick overview of
the power of using formatting in your code I suggest a
look at the following SDK documentation:

    
ms-help://MS.VSCC/MS.MSDNVS/cpguide/html/cpconformattingoverview.htm

Hope this helps.

I've encountered a simular problem. I believe that the problem is with folder permissions rather than any sort of pathing problem. I have an app that checks for the existance of a folder and if it is not there creates it. When trying to write to the newly created folder I recieve the 'Could not find a part of the path' error. If I manually change the folder permissions to Full Control / Everyone and then rerun the app the error doesn't occur. I haven't quite figured out how to access write permissions of the newly created folder, but when I do I'll post it here.
