    Check to see if Mapped UNIX drives are connected

    I am fairly new to VB but have constructed a code within Excel to write files from a Windows emulator to a mapped UNIX drive.

    I was just wondering if there is a command to check if the drive has been connected or not. This would then allow me to add a mapping part to my code if the drive had not been connected or at least a warning to the user to connect the drive.

    Any help would be really useful, I have searched around the net and not found a thing that can help.

    you can use the APIs getlogicaldrivestrings and getdrivetype, to return all the drives available and the type of each drive
    also WNetGetConnection will return the unc path of the logical drive
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
