Hi forum,


I'm trying to automatically save workbooks using VBA to a Sharepoint folder- which needs to be created first.
Code I have below works ONLY for saving the file. The MkDir function returns a Run-time error 76: Path not found. I'm at a loss what causes this error, because the path before /txt DOES exist and I do have the right permissions to add new folders by hand. I have also tried replacing the current path with \ instead of /, but other than making the code significantly slower this has no effect.

Any ideas?

Code:
MkDir "https://placeholder.sharepoint.com/teams/Services_NL/Shared Documents/txt"
DateAndTime = Left(Replace(Replace(Replace(Now, " ", "_"), ":", ""), "/", ""), Len(Replace(Replace(Replace(Now, " ", "_"), ":", ""), "/", "")) - 5)
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "https://placeholder.sharepoint.com/teams/Services_NL/Shared Documents/Export/" & ExportSheet & DateAndTime & ".txt", FileFormat:=xlTextWindows

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
