Determine if file is on local PC

I need to determine for sure if a particular fie is on the user's local PC or
on the server. I have the complete path of the file, let's call it

FullFilePath

How can I unequivocally determine if this is on the local PC or on a server
or other machine. The local computer may have more than one hard drive but if
the file is on any of these local hard drives I would want the code to
produce a result that the file is on the local PC. I guess we'll assume that
if the file is on a jump drive or CD that that is not the local PC.

I guess I'm wary of looking for typical hard drive letters in the file path
to make my determination. Is there another way?

Thank you.

re: Determine if file is on local PC

When you check out the code at the link salad provided
(http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0003.htm
), do what I did and modify the code to store that data in a table so
you can refer to it later. It is great code and I have integrated it
with several applications I have created where I need to be able to
determine what type of a drive a particular drive is.
Note in the code that it determines if the drive in question is a
network drive as well.
In one case I adapted that code into an application I created that
searched drives and catalogs the files so that I can search for the
files later. I use it to catalog files I have stored on CD, DVDs,
External HDD, etc. Very useful code!
