As an example. let's say that I want to check for the exisitence of apppath + '\Export' - and if the Export subfolder doesn't exist, then create it. What would be the best approach?

You can also use the FileSystemObject object:

Set FSO = New Scripting.FileSystemObject
If Not FSO.FolderExists("c:\mypath") Then
   FSO.CreateFolder "C:\mypath"
End If

You need to add a reference to MS Scripting Runtime. HTH
