Hi Paul Firstly, are you using the
NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSApplicationSupportDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES); function to find the application support folder? That would get you the base path, then you can use the stringByAppendingPathComponent: method to add your folder name, then BOOL isDirectory = NO; BOOL exists = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:errorReporterPath isDirectory:&isDirectory]; and then check whether it exists, and whether it is a directory. Then you can use methods like: BOOL created = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] createDirectoryAtPath:path withIntermediateDirectories:YES attributes:nil error:&error]; to create the necessary folders. Hope this helps. Gideon On 11/02/2010, at 1:44 PM, Paul Johnson wrote: > I'm trying to find a best way to create the Application Support > folder.
