Suppose we have a Drive combo called &quot;Drive1&quot; and a fileList called &quot;File1&quot; (that will change to the drive exposed in the &quot;Drive1&quot; control)<br />
<br />
Check this code:<br />
<br />
Private Sub Drive1_Change()<br />
<br />
On Error Resume Next &nbsp; &nbsp;'If there is an error, continue<br />
<br />
File1.Path = Drive1.Drive<br />
<br />
If Err.Number = 68 Then &nbsp;'Check for an error<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; MsgBox &quot;Drive not prepared&quot;<br />
End If<br />
<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
This will intercept the error number 68 (Drive not prepared) and display a message.<br />
<br />
If you want to put a default drive to a drive listbox, use the Drive property:<br />
<br />
drive1.drive=&quot;f:&quot; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 'Put the F: as default
</div>


Suppose we have a Drive combo called "Drive1" and a fileList called "File1" (that will change to the drive exposed in the "Drive1" control)

Check this code:

Private Sub Drive1_Change()

On Error Resume Next    'If there is an error, continue

File1.Path = Drive1.Drive

If Err.Number = 68 Then  'Check for an error
    MsgBox "Drive not prepared"
End If

End Sub

This will intercept the error number 68 (Drive not prepared) and display a message.

If you want to put a default drive to a drive listbox, use the Drive property:

drive1.drive="f:"       'Put the F: as default

I have a drive listbox and when I choose the a:\ drive I get an error saying unavailable device. I know that that is because I do not have anything in the drive. I just want some error handling to prevent the debug message. I would like the listbox to default to my c instead. &nbsp;Can someone help?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
