If you use the ChDir statement to try and change to a folder that does not
exist, it will return error number 76.

Hence, if you use the following code, it will create the folder:

On Error GoTo errHandler
ChDir "C:\this folder does not exist"

errHandler:
MsgBox Err.Number
If Err.Number = 76 Then
MkDir "c:\this folder does not exist"
End If
