I apologise if this is a bit long, but I want to make my problem as clear as I can.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve created a file tracking system for work with information on customers, projects and who\u2019s working on them etc.<\/p>\n<p>What I wish to achieve is to create a macro that will create folders in our shared drive based on the input in a specific row. This will help reduce the time taken on admin.<\/p>\n<p>So for a new file entry (e.g. filename; customer; project;\u2026) I would want to create folders for C:customerprojectfilename<\/p>\n<p>It would need an input box so that the user can input the row or file name that they wish to create the folder for.<\/p>\n<p>I will then map this macro to an object on the screen so that the user only has to push a button and select a row to create the desired folders.<\/p>\n<p>Any help will be greatly appreciated and if you have any questions don\u2019t hesitate to ask.<\/p>\n<p>Ben<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":4},"question-category":[60],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-213","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-dos"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=213"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
