Hi,
is there a way to determine the available disk space on my harddrive? I need to copy some databases and therefore check if there's enough space left on my disk.
Thanks,
Jeph
 
Open My Computer, and then right click on your hard drive. That will tell you how much is left to use and how much is used up.

HTH

No I don't mean that. Sorry, there's a misunderstanding. I need a function to check the available disk space. IF there's more free space than FileLen(dbname) THEN I want to backup the old database ELSE the user gets a warning and has to make some more room.

Greetings,

<a desperate> jeph
 
You want API programming then... wish I could help you there!

Sorry..

Mary :eek:(
 
yes, that's my problem, too. But fortunately i've just found something i hope i can use. I just hoped it would work without an API...
