help, auto save .prg after run, in a specific location variable.

I have been looking through all the past topics about this. but I am having trouble getting them working. I tried copy and pasting a few of them. and saving them as a .bas file and running the script. but i cant get one to work for me.

i currently already have a script that auto creates a folder from an operator input and saves the cmm report in that folder.

so ideally i want to follow that same train of thought and save a .prg & .cad in that same folder already created.

please advice.

As I have noted in other posts, the "\" is a special character inside strings and needs to be doubled.
(And as I have also noted, it is special in the forum software... sigh!)

Your

strPath = "Q:\Quality\In Process Inspection Plans\PartNo.StringValue\CMM REPORTS\"

needs to be changed to at least

strPath = "Q:\Quality\In Process Inspection Plans\PartNo.StringValue\CMM REPORTS\\"

but it might be even better to change them all:

strPath = "Q:\\Quality\\In Process Inspection Plans\\PartNo.StringValue\\CMM REPORTS\\"

\" is read by PC-DMIS to mean "insert a quotation mark in the string"
\\ means "insert one \ in the string"
