creating a folder on the server

Hi,
I have a script that runs on an IIS webserver. The webserver is on a
different domain as the MSSQL server. I have an asp page that uses DSNless
connection to connect to the SQL server and execute stored procedures to
create a database locally. Everything works fine and both the MDF and LOG
files get created. The problem is that I want the files to be created in a
new folder everytime with name passed to it by the asp page.
How can i do this, i can't create it through the asp page because the IIS
server cannot access the MSSQL's servers harddrive.
Is there a way to create a folder locally ?
I was thinking of using a batch file and execute that, but don't know how to
call that.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanx
You can use xp_cmdshell to run internal commands such as MD, bat files and exe files.

|||Another alternative is to do this as an ActiveX script task inside a DTS
package, which can be kicked off from your ASP page.
