Check for a drive
Hello all
Noobe here...
I am looking for a way to check for the existance of a local drive and then if that drive exists do some other stuff. The server I am running this on is part of a cluster and will occasionally have the W: drive mounted and occasionally NOT have it mounted. I need the syntax of checking for the existance of the W: drive. This drive will appear to be a local hard drive, if that makes any difference.

basicly the logic of what I am looking for is...

If Exist W: THEN
variable1 = 1
variable2 = 2
Esle
Variable1 = 0
Variable2 = 0
EndIf

The filesystem object has a way to iterate the drives on your system. I think there might be example code in the fso documentation.

Well with the hint above I figured out how tod do it, here is a sample code.

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set dc = fso.Drives
For Each d in dc
If d.driveLetter = "C" THen
msgbox "You have a" & " " & D.driveletter & " " & "Drive"
End If
msgbox d.driveletter
NEXT
