Description

Returns a string containing the name of the drive for a specified path.

Syntax

object.GetDriveName(path)

The GetDriveName method syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
object	Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.
path	Required. The path specification for the component whose drive name is to be returned.

Remarks

The GetDriveName method returns a zero-length string ("") if the drive can't be determined.

The following example illustrates use of the GetDriveName method:

Function GetAName(DriveSpec)
  Dim fso
  Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  GetAName = fso.GetDriveName(Drivespec)
End Function

Note  The GetDriveName method works only on the provided path string. It does not attempt to resolve the path, nor does it check for the existence of the specified path.
