Finding Default CDROM Drive

Hello,

Does anyone have any code to find the default CDROM drive letter???

Thanks in advance.

I got this out of the MSDN help library...

Sub ShowDriveType(drvpath)
    Dim fs, d, s, t
    Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set d = fs.GetDrive(drvpath)
    Select Case d.DriveType
        Case 0: t = "Unknown"
        Case 1: t = "Removable"
        Case 2: t = "Fixed"
        Case 3: t = "Network"
        Case 4: t = "CD-ROM"
        Case 5: t = "RAM Disk"
    End Select
    s = "Drive " & d.DriveLetter & ": - " & t
    MsgBox s
End Sub

Here's another way using the FileSystemObject.

Make sure you reference Microsoft Scripting Runtime in your Project/References...

    Dim loDrive As Drive
    Dim loFileSys As FileSystemObject
    Dim lsDriveLetters As String
    
    lsDriveLetters = "CDRom Drives are:" & vbNewLine
    Set loFileSys = New FileSystemObject
    
    For Each loDrive In loFileSys.Drives
        If loDrive.DriveType = CDRom Then
            lsDriveLetters = lsDriveLetters & loDrive.DriveLetter & vbNewLine
        End If
    Next
    
    MsgBox lsDriveLetters
