If you don't get an answer in the Excel newsgroups, you may want to post in a
VB
newsgroup. Remember to include that you're code will be in Excel's VBA (and
include the excel version).
They may even tweak the code to work in VBA.

Thanks, Daniel,
But, I already knew about that one - only problem is that it does not quite
do what I want...
I figure that some sort of API call/programming is required, but that's a
point where I'm absolutely lost...
So, I'm still hoping that one of all the VBA/API sharks in here can solve
this one for me :-)
Thanks, anyway, Daniel :-)

As far as I know, it is only possible to detect if the drive is ready
:
Set fso = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
If fso.getdrive("d:").IsReady = True Then
MsgBox "drive with CD inside"
Else
MsgBox "no CD or tray open"
End If

Is it possible to DETECT weather the CD tray of a given CD/DVD ROM
drive is open or closed via Excel VBA?
I can find a number of macros out there, which open or close the CD
Tray, but is it possible to create a UDF that DETECTS if the tray is
open? TIA,
CE
