Yes, I need to do exactly that.

I agree that it is possible to create two directories at once under normal circumstances. However, it is not possible to create a tree of multiple directories in the windows (W2K) temp folder. Maybe you could try running the code in my original post?

I would be interested to hear if VFP 6 does not have the same problem.

Thanks
