---

Class

Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileSystem

Syntax

 CurDir[(   drive   )] 

drive (optional; String or Char)

The name of the drive

Return Value

A String containing the current path

Description

Returns the current directory of a particular drive or the default drive

Rules at a Glance

• If no drive is specified or if drive is a zero-length string (""), CurDir returns the path for the current drive.

• drive can be the single-letter drive name with or without a colon (i.e., both "C" and "C:" are valid values for drive ).

• If drive is invalid, the function will generate runtime error 68, "Device unavailable."

• Because CurDir can only accept a single-character string, you cannot use network drive names, share names, or UNC drive names .

Example

 Sub TestCurDir(  )     MsgBox CurDir("C")  End Sub
