Hi,
I have tried this and boolExist takes the value of true (doesn't work all
the time)
I have also try the cbool and doesn't work on excel 2002. I tried Cbool with
excel 2003 and it work's well.. It's very strange..

dim fso
set fso = createobject("scripting.flesystemobject")
boolExist = fso.fileexists("V:") (takes value true ??)
set fso = nothing

You lost "i" in set fso = createobject("scripting.flesystemobject")

When you say "It doesn't work", what are you seeing? An error message?
Or just a False value?
Why don't you have
Dim boolExist As Boolean ? What is Cbool?
Is your network connection to your V: drive constant, or does it reconnect
every time it's called?
Are Excel 2002 and Excel 2003 on the same machines? Do both instances
have references to the Microsoft Scripting Runtime library?

If you're looking for a drive, don't you want driveexists?

Dim BoolExist As Boolean
Dim FSO As Object
Set FSO = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
BoolExist = FSO.DriveExists(drivespec:="v")
MsgBox BoolExist

Thank Dave..
What I did wrong is the following:

Dim FSO As Object
Set FSO = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
if FSO.DriveExists(drivespec:="v") = true then ...
MsgBox BoolExist
endif
So, I though FSO.Drive was true because the condition is satisfied.
By declaring a Boolean, I see that the result is false !!
