This error usually pops up when your code attempts to access a folder or file that doesn't exist or when it lacks the necessary permissions. In this guide, we will explore the implications of this error and guide you through the solution step by step. Understanding the Problem The error message you're facing indicates that there is an issue with the way your VBA code is handling folder paths. Specifically, it can arise from: Trying to access a directory that hasn't been created yet Insufficient permissions to write to a directory Incorrectly specifying the folder paths in your VBA script In your case, the script's primary goal is to create new folders if they don't exist in which to save files. However, the code is checking for the existence of a folder variable that isn't defined properly, leading to the error. Code Breakdown and Solution In your original code, you are attempting to create yearly and monthly folders based on the current date. Let's simplify and correct this code step by step. Step 1: Correct the Folder Existence Check Instead of checking if the placeholder variable folder exists (which is not defined), we should explicitly verify the existence of folderYear and folderMonth.
