GetTapeStatus API

[wtand]

How do you use GetTapeStatus API in VB6 to query tape drive on a network server? Assume program executes from workstation.

I'm not sure about this:

To use GetTapeStatus on the current computer, you have to use the following lpFileName in CreateFile:

"X:" ' Where X is the drive letter of the tape drive

To use it on a different server, you use the following lpFileName in CreateFile:

"\\ServerName\X:"

Having never used this API, and having never used CreateFile for this reason, if the tip I gave you doesn't work, please provide some code from your project which might help...
