Determining the share a drive for which a drive is mapped

Hello World,

I am using Visual C++.Net Ver 6 and am hoping to find out how to determine
the share name/UNC path that is associated with a specific drive letter.
I've looked at the Drive Object documentation, but there is no C++ code to
work with. Does anyone have an idea how to accomplish this?

Thanks for any insite,
Stephanie
