Yes, I just tried it, and neither way works for me. I can use answer folder to check to see if a folder is there... but the folder is definitely not there, especially since I'm getting a Can't create that directory problem each time I run it. I wonder if it is an error with my mctools... I'm totally stumped right now. I have a dialog in place right now that notifies the user and tells them a folder has not been created (and thus their course has not been saved). I'm still totally stumped as to why it's working fine in Mac OS X but not in Classic. If anyone else has any ideas, I'd love to hear them (including AppleScript solutions) . If not, I'll probably just require Mac OS 9 users to have to create a folder manually. Oh well.

I've done this, too, as it says, and I've gotten the same problems. What was meant earlier when someone mentioned using answer folder? The folder definitely doesn't exist. I'm trying to create a folder and stick a bunch of files into it when a user clicks Save, so having an answer folder solution, though a user could create a new folder, doesn't do it as seamlessly as I want it to. An AppleScript solution would be fine, too, if anyone knows of one. Thanks, Karl ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
Re: Creating folder in OS 9
Hello Karl, I'm attempting to create a folder in Mac OS 9 (under MC 2.4.3) using something like: create folder tPath It works fine here! For some reason, it's simply not creating this folder, and returning a Can't create folder in the result. Because the folder already exists, or the name of the folder is not a valid folder-name, or something. It's doing this on my computer while running in Classic, and it's also doing this for other people who are booting into Mac OS 9.x. I'm using MetaCard 2.5 on a G3 running Classic 8.6.2.

Re: Creating folder in OS 9
Hi Karl, I'm not having any problems with the create directory command in stand alones made with 2.4.3. You may want to check the various libraries and mctools stacks to make sure they're not goofed up somehow. Also, I think the reason somebody suggested using the answer folder command was just so you could see a valid path to a folder, and then compare it to the ones you're supplying. I know Metacard gets fussy sometimes regarding ending folder paths with a slash. Hope this is helpful. Ray Horsley Developer, LinkIt!

Creating folder in OS 9
Hello everyone, I'm attempting to create a folder in Mac OS 9 (under MC 2.4.3) using something like: create folder tPath -- tPath looks like /Mac HD/folder/real/path/myFolder (similarly I've tried create directory thePath ) For some reason, it's simply not creating this folder, and returning a Can't create folder in the result. It's doing this on my computer while running in Classic, and it's also doing this for other people who are booting into Mac OS 9.x. Forgive me if there's been discussion about this already (I found none) , but what's going on? Why can't I create a folder? Using the command in the Mac OS X build creates the folder for me fine. I've not tested it on Windows. Also, as a note, only the final folder in the hierarchy is the one I'm creating - I'm positive always that all the other folders up until myFolder (in the example above) already exist. Just a side note - does it matter to the create directory handler if the folders higher up the hierarchy exist or not?
