DriveExists Method

Description

Returns True if the specified drive exists; False if it does not.

Syntax

object.DriveExists(drivespec)

The DriveExists method syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
object	Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.
drivespec	Required. A drive letter or a complete path specification.

Remarks

For drives with removable media, the DriveExists method returns True even if there are no media present. Use the IsReady property of the Drive object to determine if a drive is ready.

The following example illustrates use of the DriveExists method:

Function ReportDriveStatus(drv)
  Dim fso, msg
  Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  If fso.DriveExists(drv) Then
    msg = ("Drive " & UCase(drv) & " exists.")
  Else
    msg = ("Drive " & UCase(drv) & " doesn't exist.")
  End If
  ReportDriveStatus = msg
End Function
