I am write a program that will reside on an External USB drive that I may use on different computers. Each Computer of course will give the drive a different letter.

I want to be able to access certain directories on the drive from with-in the program. Is their a way that I can access the directories with out knowing the drive letter.

For example I want to access the H:\This Folder directory with out having to use the H:. This will all will be hard coded.
 
Try this...

MsgBox Split(App.Path, "\")(0)

App.path will show you the drive and folder where the executable is located, by splitting on the back slash and taking the first element, you'll know the drive from which your application is running.
