Hi folks...long time reader, first time poster.

I have a piece of code that SHOULD be working. It is simple and straight forward, creating a directory.

The code:

Dim tmpfldr As String = secret.buildFLDR() ' Build a 10 character, semi random string for a DIR Name
'This is the URL that will be used to create the links
targetfullpath = "http://" & cfg.serverURL & "/" & cfg.RootDBFolder & "/" & tmpfldr
filesysfullpath = cfg.filesysFLDR & "\" & cfg.RootDBFolder & "\" & tmpfldr
Me.lblUploadStat.Text = Me.filesysfullpath
'filesysfullpath = "\" & tmpfldr
Dim tdir As DirectoryInfo
Dim usr As String = "Current executing thread is " + System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name
Try
If Directory.Exists(filesysfullpath) = False Then
' Create the directory.
Directory.CreateDirectory(filesysfullpath)

....

It gets to this line and throws an error:

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path "e:\". at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String str) at System.IO.Directory.InternalCreateDirectory(String fullPath, String path) at System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(String path) at mjbears.drpbox.loadcfg() in C:\Documents and Settings\Jim\VSWebCache\sandbox.pixieproductions.com\default.aspx.vb:line 100

The "filesysfullpath" resolves out to "e:\web\public_html\username\sandbox\dropbox\BUILDFLDR" where BUILDFLDR is the random string. I have read/write privileges in "dropbox" folder, so I should be able to write/create a directory there.

Help! I've been hacking on this code for hours!

Peace,

Bear
