Description
Returns a string containing the name of the drive for a specified path.
Syntax
object.GetDriveName(path)

The GetDriveName method syntax has these parts:

Part Description
object Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.
path Required. The path specification for the component whose drive name is to be returned.

Remarks
The GetDriveName method returns a zero-length string ("") if the drive can't be determined.

The following example illustrates use of the GetDriveName method: 

Function GetAName(DriveSpec)
  Dim fso
  Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  GetAName = fso.GetDriveName(Drivespec)
End Function
Note  The GetDriveName method works only on the provided path string. It does not attempt to resolve the path, nor does it check for the existence of the specified path.
