Can someone tell me what CurDir returns, I am trying to find the path to the
Drive letter where Windows is installed on a PC, using code like:
Function DriveLetter()
Dim curdrv As String
curdrv = Left(CurDir, 2)
curdrv = curdrv & "\"
MsgBox "" & curdrv
The help file says that CurDir returns the path for the Current Drive but I
am not sure what CURRENT DRIVE means, is this the drive with the operating
system?

CurDir returns the full path of the folder that holds the current Database .
Try typing in ?CurDir() in the immediate window

No it doesn't. It returns whatever folder Windows considers the current
directory which might or might not be the one where the MDB resides.
You can use...
CurrentDB.Name
or
CurrentProject. Path (Access 2000 or newer)

So how can I find the path to the Drive letter where Windows is installed on
a PC, which I would call the Current Drive. If my operating system is on the
D Drive I want it to return D:\
Any ideas?

As Rick stated, CurDir returns whatever Windows considers the "currently
selected directory", which isn't what you want. Rick gave you what is needed
to return the Folder where the current database or project is stored. And,
there is a Windows API that will return the information you want about
Windows. You'll find Access example code for using it at http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0010.htm.

There's so much there that it is easy to overlook something. In fact, I had

Your appreciation makes it worthwhile. Again, you are most welcome. Helping

Hi All,
I change the current directory in a proc, using CurDir(). The change

same at the start of each execution. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
The code below illustrates the problem. Thanks.
