CreateFolder() and abolute path

[Charled]

Hello,

working on Mac with FMP 11.

I'm developping a db to help creating MS Word documents we'll have to put in some specific subfolders. To create these subfolders I'm trying to use M CreateFolder().

The db will be hosted to be accessed by internet but folders (and documents) must be created on the local hd of each user.

So, I try to use absolute (instead of relative) paths in createfolder parameter but it doesn't work.

My hard disk is called 'HD 2' so i've tried :

- /hd 2/Users/pro/thedbase/thenewfolder

- /hd 2/Users/pro/thedbase/thenewfolder/

- hd 2/Users/pro/thedbase/thenewfolder

- hd 2/Users/pro/thedbase/thenewfolder/

- filemac:/hd 2/Users/pro/thedbase/thenewfolder

- filemac:/hd 2/Users/pro/thedbase/thenewfolder/

but none of them functions.

Where do i go wrong ?

thanks

Answering to myself : the path must start with /Volumes/.

I had a similar problem. (Still do have a problem with Windows execution).

But, this script gets the Mac Volume, Path and Filename.

Hope it helps.
