MicroStation CE U11
I am trying to do a few things, create a folder if it does not exist, and then copy a folder from one location to another using variables that define the source folder and the location that the source folder is to be placed in. So far I am successful in creating the folder but for the copy folder part, it errors out. Any ideas? When I place the full path in the to and from it works, but when I try to use variables, it errors.
Below is an example of what I am thinking. The goal is to use variables available from the configuration in the event the workspace resources are different for different clients. No hard paths like "C:\folder\".
Sub BVEClashDetectionSetup() Dim LOCATIONA As String Dim LOCATIONC As String Dim strDir1 As String Dim objFSO As Object ' Define locations for resources LOCATIONA = ActiveWorkspace.ConfigurationVariableValue("LOCATIONA") 'from location USTNCE_Root = ActiveWorkspace.ConfigurationVariableValue("_USTN_HOMEROOT") 'assist to create to location ' Create directory if does not exist strDir1 = USTNCE_Root & "newfolder" 'to location If Dir(strDir1, vbDirectory) = "" Then MkDir strDir1 ' Copy resources from workspace to local Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 'objFSO.copyFolder "C:\Path\to\source\folder", "C:\Path\to\destination\folder" objFSO.CopyFolder LOCATIONA, strDir1 Else ' Error checking ShowMessage "FolderA Already Exists!!!" End If End Sub
Thanks ahead of time!!!

Hi,
This is not a Microstation programming question. You would better search the web for VB best practice especially the "Windows Scripting " things
