IF EXIST works for files, but not directories. The check for the existence of a directory, search for a file *in* that directory. If the file exists, the directory does as well. The old time DOS hack for this was testing for the existence of the NUL device. If a directory existed, NUL would be found. IF NOT EXIST X:\ZZZ\NUL MD X:\ZZZ should do what you want. > Ray ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
