| | VBScript root folder property question Hi again, I now have a script which needs to access the root folder of a user defined drive in order to test for the existance of sub folders. I am having no luck getting access to the root folder of the selected drive. Is the 'getfolder' method the wrong thing to be using for this? The script looks like this: Option Explicit 'Declare Variables Dim WshShl, iconyn, dtop, scut, dltr, argobj, fso, dready Dim path, fold, subf 'Get User Input For Desktop Icon Creation set WshShl = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") iconyn = WshShl.Popup("Would you like a shortcut for this script"_ & " created on your desktop?",,"User Input",36) 'Process User Selection and Create Icon If Requested If iconyn = 6 Then dtop = WshShl.SpecialFolders("Desktop") set scut = WshShl.CreateShortcut(dtop & "\Assignment6.lnk") scut.TargetPath = "c:\assignment6.vbs" scut.IconLocation = "c:\disk.ico" scut.Save End if 'Get user input for Drive letter selection '31 dltr = InputBox("Please enter a drive letter") 'Check for existance of drive and if it is ready Set fso = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.filesystemobject") If Not fso.DriveExists(dltr) Then Wscript.Echo "That Drive does not Exist" Wscript.Quit End If Set dready = fso.GetDrive(dltr) If Not (dready.IsReady) Then Wscript.Echo "That Drive Is Not Ready" Wscript.Quit End If 'Check root of selected drive for existance of sub folders <b>set fold = fso.GetFolder(dltr) set subf = fold.subfolders If subf.count =0 Then Wscript.echo "The Selected Drive Contains No Sub-Folders" Wscript.Quit End If Wscript.Wcho "The Drive Contains Sub Folders!"</b> |

| | RE: VBScript root folder property question Please disregard this mssg, I just realized I had to designate the root as 'drive letter + :' and not 'drive letter + :\' That got it working! ___________________________________________________________________ "Vgolfmaster" wrote: Quote: > Hi again, > > I now have a script which needs to access the root folder of a user defined > drive in order to test for the existance of sub folders.
