ChDrive Statement
This standard VB statement changes the default drive.
Syntax
ChDrive 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.
