How to create a folder with mm/dd/yyyy/hh/mm

[anoble1]

I currently have a database backup button in my database. It grabs the database where it currently is, and makes a copy of it, then makes a new folder with the Month day year. Well, I do multiple updates daily (and space is not an issue). So, question is, can you have access make and name a new folder with hours and minutes?

'Customer Issues BACKUP

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Rootpath = "S:\Workgroups\APC Power Delivery-Contract Services\Student Engineer\Customer Issues\Customer Issues BACKUPS\" & Month(Date) & "-" & Day(Date) & "-" & Year(Date) & "\"

If Not (fso.FolderExists(Rootpath)) Then fso.CreateFolder (Rootpath)

Shell "xcopy " & """" & Rootpath & """" & " " & """" & Rootpath & """" & " /e /y"
Shell "xcopy " & """" & "S:\Workgroups\APC Power Delivery-Contract Services\Customer Issues\Customer Issues.mdb" & """" & " " & """" & Rootpath & """" & "/y"

Exit Sub
End Sub

You can use hours and minutes by using the Time function, but you'll have to convert the time to a string and remove the semi-colon.

Personally, I would convert it to military time and use that in the file name.
