why doesn't GetDriveType(DrivetypeCode) work?
Access 2000 XP
I get a '1' back as the DrivetypeCode regardless of whether its running on a local or networked computer.
Any suggestions how to use this or suggest new code to determine if the db is on a networed or local computer.
Thanks
Elton

You've both helped me understand the code (I'm not a very good VBA programmer). I didn't understand I had to include the drive letter of the drive I needed checked, makes sense now.
I'm going to split the points.
Thanks for the help.
