Look in File I/O>>Advanced File Functions. There are two functions, "List Directory" and "New Directory" which will allow you to do what you want. First search a location for the subdirectory and if it does NOT exist create it using "new directory" these VIs are nice and even allow you to set privledges and attributes. Hope tis helps

An even simpler solution: Just execute the "New Directory" function and
ignore any error returned.

Or more correctly, use "File Info" and look at the error code. If no
error is returned and the directory output is true, you are fine. No
error and directory output is false means you have a conflict with a
file already existing. An error output means you can go and try to
create the dir.

How do you ignore the error message as it termnates my program and tells me there is a duplicate directory??
