I'm wanting to create a folder, and then another folder within that folder. Should be simple and straight forward. dim dir as FolderItem dim dir2 as FolderItem dir= SpecialFolder.ApplicationData.Child("My Great App") dir2= SpecialFolder.ApplicationData.Child("My Great App").Child("temp") dir.CreateAsFolder dir2.CreateAsFolder If the parent folder, "My Great App" exists, then the temp folder is created within it. If the parent folder is not there, it gets created but the program crashes with a NilObjectException on line "dir2.CreateAsFolder" Any ideas?

Change the order to something like In your code dir2 may be nil if My Great App doesn't exist dim dir as FolderItem dim dir2 as FolderItem dir= SpecialFolder.ApplicationData.Child("My Great App") dir.CreateAsFolder dir2= SpecialFolder.ApplicationData.Child("My Great App").Child("temp") dir2.CreateAsFolder _________________ Norman Palardy (Real Software) Top nilesmitchell Post subject: Re: Creating Folder and Folder within Folder problemsPosted: Mon Apr 29, 2013 8:45 pm Joined: Mon Jan 17, 2011 4:51 pm Posts: 131 Thanks, Norman!
