GetLocalDriveLetter()

[Trent Argante]

Actually, this is in relation to VB6, but I couldn't find a corresponding
forum: How do I get a VB6, executable (Windows NT) to return the user's
local drive letter?

The Background:
Our target documents are stored on our LAN's G: drive. I've been working
out a way for our operators to be able to enter a part number, from their
local PCs, and have Windows Explorer open up to the corresponding document's
directory. (Most of this has been programmed and works.) In order to keep
sharing violations to a minimum, I have a LAN located batch file write the
DIR command's results to the user's local drive (the drive letter is passed
to the batch file). The results file is searched in order to find the target
directory. But, I don't know how to get an application, that is located on
the LAN, to return the local drive letter of a given user.

Can anyone help me out?

Hi Trent ! :O)

You can also post to one of the numerous Microsoft VB6 forums.

My favorite is this one :
microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion

but all newsgroups having "vb" in their without any "dotnet" or "vsnet"
should be a "classic" VB forum (6.0 and earlier).

As for your question, I think Randy has something on his site about this (in
the network section iirc) :
http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/main/index.html
