Moving Complete Folder
 

Hi all,
How is it possible to move a complete folder from a cd. The thing I cant
understand is people have different drive letters for their cd-rom etc. So
is it possible to have it check the drive letter and then save the directory
from the cd to the c:\21Legs

Thanks for any advise

Greg,
You can get the CD drive letter with :
http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/disk/cdexists.htm

Moving the folder can be achieved with the File System Object and MoveFolder
or
the API route with http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/shell/shdirectorycopy.htm

I've not worked with them very much, but could getting the drive letter also
be accomplished with a FileSystemObject and VBA's

Drives Collection
DriveType Property
IsReady Property

to test for the existence of the folder on the CD and copying it (or move on
to test the next CD-ROM if the folder is not found)?

Is there an advantage the API has over using these?

Thanks!

Just that I'm not a fan of the FSO.
If Sys Admin has disabled Scripting, then the FSO will not work, as it is
part of the Scripting Runtime.

Yes, I can see where that would be a problem. Good to know - Thanks!
