CurDir Function
This standard VB function returns the default folder (and drive) for the specified drive.
Syntax
CurDir[$][(drive)]
Returns
The default drive and folder.
Usage
A colon is not required after the drive name. The drive must exist, and must be within the range specified in the LASTDRIVE statement of the
config.sys
file. If a null argument ("") is supplied, or if no drive is indicated, the path for the default drive is returned.The dollar sign ($) in the function name is optional. If it is included, the return type is string. Otherwise the function returns a variant of vartype 8 (string).
To change the current drive, use ChDrive. To change the current folder, use ChDir.
Example
This example changes the current folder to C:\Windows, if it is not already the default.
