Is there a way to see if there is a USB memory stick connected to the PC within a macro? -- lcoreyl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lcoreyl's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=2042 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=472292 |

recognize USB drive
Yes. create a small .bat file that attempts to do a DIR to the logical drive
unit. Run the .bat file thru a SHELL command from VBA. If you get back the standard error message that the system could not find the path specified, then the drive is not connected. -- Gary''s Student "lcoreyl" wrote: Is there a way to see if there is a USB memory stick connected to the PC within a macro? -- lcoreyl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lcoreyl's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=2042 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=472292 |

Is there a way to use the DIR function to find out what drives exist? -- lcoreyl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lcoreyl's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=2042 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=472292 |
