CART Report Archiving (End of Day)
                             
Data is always changing.  Some data is stored in AXIOM forever.  Other data changes with time. An AXIOM report that you ran 3 months ago may not by available today.  The EndOfDay.xls utility takes a snapshot of the CART\Instant\ folder every day at 11:55 PM (or whenever you want the Windows Scheduled Tasks to launch it) and sets it aside as a permanent archive.
The macro code is quite simple and is listed here in its entirety:
Sub EndOfDay()
    Dim FolderY, FolderM, FolderD, FolderI As String
    Dim fs As Object
    FolderY = "S:\AxiomReporting\CART\Archive\" + CStr(Year(Date))
    FolderM = FolderY + "\" + Right("0" + CStr(Month(Date)), 2)
    FolderD = FolderM + "\" + Right("0" + CStr(Day(Date)), 2)
    FolderI = FolderD + "\Instant"
    Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    If fs.FolderExists(FolderY) = False Then fs.CreateFolder (FolderY)
    If fs.FolderExists(FolderM) = False Then fs.CreateFolder (FolderM)
    If fs.FolderExists(FolderD) = False Then fs.CreateFolder (FolderD)
    If fs.FolderExists(FolderI) = False Then fs.CreateFolder (FolderI)
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    fs.copyfile "S:\AxiomReporting\CART\Instant\*.*", FolderI
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
Be careful however!
These files add up with time.  A typical CART\Instant folder could contain 0.5 GB of data, requiring 180 GBs of storage space for a year's worth of archives.  Plan ahead and use the SMART WatchDog utility to monitor remaining hard drive space.  The ArchivePruner.xls utility will prune the Archive of redundant files.
