I have a button on one of the worksheets that lets user to continue with his task to save his/her template as a separate workbook in the folder.
Here is my code
Private Sub ContinueButton_Click()
Application.ScreenUpdating = 0
Sheets(cmbSheet.Value).Visible = True
Application.Goto Sheets(cmbSheet.Value).[a22], True
Application.ScreenUpdating = 1
Unload Me
End Sub
Now what I need is to check if that folder exist, in case if the folder does not exist my user should be able to create it.
My code to create this folder is here below, but how to connect this 2 functions together I simply have no idea, since I am fairly new to VBA
Sub CreateDirectory()
Dim sep As String
sep = Application.PathSeparator
'sets the workbook's path as the current directory
ChDir ThisWorkbook.Path
MsgBox "The current directory is:" & vbCrLf & CurDir
'makes new folder in current directory
MkDir CurDir & sep & Settings.Range("C45").Value
MsgBox "The archive directory named " & Settings.Range("C45").Value & " has been created. The path to your directory " & Settings.Range("C45").Value & " is below. " & vbCrLf & CurDir & sep & Settings.Range("C45").Value
End Sub
I am going to modularize your code a little bit:
First get the directory path here
Function getDirectoryPath()
getDirectoryPath = ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & Settings.Range("C45").Value
End Function
You can create the directory using this function
Sub createDirectory(directoryPath)
MkDir directoryPath
End Sub
You can check if a directory exists or not using Dir
function
Dir(directoryPath, vbDirectory) 'empty string means directoryPath doesn't exist
The final function on button click:
Private Sub ContinueButton_Click()
Application.ScreenUpdating = 0
Sheets(cmbSheet.Value).Visible = True
directoryPath = getDirectoryPath
'Creating the directory only if it doesn't exist
If Dir(directoryPath, vbDirectory) = "" Then
createDirectory directoryPath
End If
Application.Goto Sheets(cmbSheet.Value).[a22], True
Application.ScreenUpdating = 1
Unload Me
End Sub
