ChDrive drive

|
drive |
A string expression designating the new default drive |
Returns
Not applicable Usage
A colon is permitted but not required as part of the name of the drive; a single letter suffices. The drive to be made the default must exist and must be within the range specified by the LASTDRIVE statement in the config.sys file. If a null string ("") is supplied as the argument, the default drive remains the same. If the drive argument is a string, ChDrive uses the first letter only. If the argument is omitted, an error message is displayed. To change the current folder on a drive, use ChDir. Example
This example changes the default drive to A. Sub Button_Click Dim newdrive as String newdrive = "A" If Left(CurDir,2) <> newdrive then ChDrive newdrive End If End Sub
