Here's a simple bit of code, but watch out - lots of people have multiple CD drives (CD reader & writer, or CD and DVD), so you should allow for that in your code...

VB Code:

Private Declare Function GetDriveType Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetDriveTypeA" (ByVal nDrive As String) As Long
 
  For i = 1 to 26
    Select Case GetDriveType(chr(64+i) & ":\")
        Case 2  ' "Removable"
        Case 3  ' "Drive Fixed"
        Case 4  ' "Remote"
        Case 5  ' "Cd-Rom"
' do something here!
msgbox chr(64+i) & "is a CD drive"
        Case 6  ' "Ram disk"
        Case Else  ' "Unrecognized"
    End Select
  Next i

VB Code:

Private Declare Function GetDriveType Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetDriveTypeA" (ByVal nDrive As String) As Long
Private Declare Function GetLogicalDriveStrings Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetLogicalDriveStringsA" (ByVal nBufferLength As Long, ByVal lpBuffer As String) As Long
 
Private Const DRIVE_CDROM = 5
Private CDRom As Variant
 
Private Sub Detect_CD_Rom()
    '
    'Usage:
    'Detect_CD_ROM
    'Msgbox CD_ROM
    '
    Dim retval As Long
    Dim allDrives As String
    Dim JustOneDrive As String
    Dim MyPosition As Integer
    Dim DriveType As Long
    Dim CDfound As Boolean
    
    allDrives = Space$(64)
    retval = GetLogicalDriveStrings(Len(allDrives), allDrives)
    allDrives = Left$(allDrives, retval)
    Do
        MyPosition = InStr(allDrives, Chr$(0))
        If MyPosition Then
            JustOneDrive = Left$(allDrives, MyPosition)
            allDrives = Mid$(allDrives, MyPosition + 1, Len(allDrives))
            DriveType& = GetDriveType(JustOneDrive)
 
            If DriveType& = DRIVE_CDROM Then
                CDfound = True
                Exit Do
            End If
        End If
    Loop Until allDrives = "" Or DriveType& = DRIVE_CDROM
 
    If CDfound = True Then
        CDRom = Trim(UCase(JustOneDrive))
    Else
       CDRom = "?"
    End If
    MsgBox CDRom
End Sub
